Pros

The pay is fantastic, and the health insurance is unrivaled.

Cons

The work-life balance is horrible and toxic. If you join Epic, prepare to feel like you are never meeting expectations and to join a culture that fosters self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Your experience will completely depend on what team you are placed on. Unless you fight for a specific one in the interview process, they only communicate which team you are on one week before starting. Transferring teams is impossible unless you tell them you are willing to quit for it and they view you as valuable. This is coming from someone with 3.5 years' tenure and doing "very well".

Advice to Management

View your employees as humans rather than replaceable cogs, and you might stop hemorrhaging 2-5 year tenured employees. But you won't, because that's built into the business model.
