Epic Systems

None. I read others mentioned the cafeteria and campus as pros, but they are hardly of consequence before work/life balance. I am pretty sure most of the positive reviews were written by HR. I personally didn't meet one employee who was happy with his/her job. I really don't think anyone will have enough time to write very long positive reviews unless they are from HR.

It was a very bad experience. Leaving Epic was one of the best decisions of my life. I was not asked to leave, but I resigned on my own. I knew the technologies used were outdated before joining, so I can't blame Epic for it. However, the work culture was very bad. I used to work 60-65 hours per week, but that was not enough for my team lead. Every Monday, my lead used to assign me 8-10 issues. I was expected to finish all of them by the next meeting. If they were duplicates and easy to fix, then fine. But if they took a very long time to reproduce and find the cause, then that was it. And most of the time, they were like that, due to bad architecture and dirty code. The lead was not ready to listen to that. It was just the quantity that mattered, not the quality.

I planned to stay only 6 months before I joined, but somehow I stayed for almost a year. Now I spend more hours at my current job than what I used to spend at Epic. I love it, and though no one asks me to.

Future Employees:

• Do yourself a favor and find another job.

Use latest technologies (ASP.NET).

Consider employees as human beings and not as slaves.

Recruit more people, as Epic is underemployed.

Spend money on people rather than buildings.
