Epic Systems

Good place if you want a career in healthcare. That's about the only good thing.

Also a pretty campus and good food. You get to travel as part of work.

This might be a good place for a developer for the first 1-2 years, in the sense that they can get a sense of the general development life cycle. Not really anything great in terms of engineering.

• No career progression.
• You'll end up doing the same thing after 10 years here.
• No transferable skillset in terms of technology.
• Highly dependent on luck and the TL you get.
• I've had more than 6 TLs over my last 3 years. None of these changes were my fault. Everything was moving around modules and TLs between teams.
• No visibility or feedback on performance. You will be greeted with a bell curve anytime you ask for feedback.
• Many developers leave Epic, and you'll find a quarter of your team gone every year.

• Be more flexible with your policies.
• Comparing yourself to tech companies like Amazon/Microsoft in staff meetings doesn't make you a tech company.
• You are not where you are because you outdid the competition. It's just because you have been lucky to be in the industry way longer than the competition.
• There is a reason that so many developers leave the company. It's because the policies are one of the worst for us.
