Epic Systems

Beautiful workplace--going around the campus can be a good break.

Flat management--your idea is heard.

Meaningful work--customer focused.

Trips to customer sites--you get to see the end users use the software and get feedback directly.

Location--it is unlikely that you are stuck in traffic on the way to work.

Healthcare benefits.

Single or double office.

Vacation and sick days: You don't get many, which is not ideal if your family is outside Wisconsin (work from home is not allowed).

Old technology.

Secrecy in raises and ranking.

Also, this might be a pro for some people. But to be successful at Epic, you need to be passionate about healthcare. If you are more passionate about technology, Epic might not be the best place for you. For example, if there's a critical bug, a quick fix is more preferable. They are more reluctant to clean up and modernize old code because they don't want to break the software and cause harm to patients, which is good. But for someone who is more passionate about technology innovation, Epic was not a good fit for me.
