Epic Systems

Great pay, great benefits.

They'll pay for your move to work for them.

The campus is fun and interesting, as far as work environments go.

The hiring process had me really excited to work for the company.

People who like working for Epic love it.

Long hours are expected of you, although not "officially" demanded. I've heard of people having complaints they didn't work long enough hours (at 40); I didn't experience this.

My complaint is with the "team" I was working with, which consisted of separate people working independently non-stop. I have very little time out of my office. In my office, I see nobody or even get checked on to see what I was up to.

I just work and see my TL once a week for around 20 minutes. He gives me assignments and asks about progress.

I'm pretty social for a developer; other people might not mind this.

I also feel like being an intruder in a cult. Looking as an outsider, people are obsessed with their jobs and very driven. It feels alienating to be in a company surrounded by people who fall into either that category, or the people who want to leave.

I feel like people of a certain type would love to work here, but I'm not that type and need something different.
