Pros

The food is excellent, the campus is gorgeous, the pay is generous, and the people are lovely. The company (and Madison) are much more progressive than I expected. Moving to Wisconsin, the area as a whole is very LGBT friendly.

Cons

Epic can be a bit of a pressure cooker, and the training really didn't prepare me for the job. Also, I want more vacation. It's reasonable by American standards, but having more personal time would be excellent.

Advice to Management

My training as a dev really didn't prepare me for the day-to-day of the job.

Making training more team-based (maybe shadowing senior devs other than one's mentor?) and more role-focused would have been helpful.
