Pros

They'll hire any coder with a pulse who will drink the Kool-Aid.

Pay is okay. Good first experience out of college.

Madison is wonderful. On-campus lunch is great.

Cons

I saw that quote on a longtime Epic developer's internal profile. It sums up the product.

Outdated tech stack. The company values stability over good software.

Epic is truly a mess of a software, a monstrosity built off the original 1970s code. They didn't get UI/UX designers until recently, and boy, do they have the roughest job. Don't work here if you want to do good work and be proud of your software. They happily use outdated, bloated XML garbage because "culture is toxic, management not good." They equate working overtime with "saving lives." The CEO will go on stage to all 12,000 employees and talk about their estranged children. Very bizarre. The C-suite will bad-mouth DEI.

Commuting in such a small city is annoying.

Advice to Management

They make too much money to fix their culture.
