Pros

Epic treats their interns very well. The pay is good, you won't work long hours, and you're given a lot of autonomy.

You'll get a very hands-on look at the entire development process, from design all the way to testing.

You're treated like a full-timer (minus the workload), and it's possible that you'll work with people who won't know you're just an intern. Madison is also a great city to live for the summer.

Cons

Uses Visual Basic 6 and Cache programming languages, which are very outdated.

This means any programming expertise you gain here is basically nontransferable.

Advice to Management

During training, there's a lot of self-praise and emphasis on how "smart all of Epic's employees are. This was pretty disillusioning; intelligence should speak for itself.
