Epic Systems

Great compensation and co-workers. Almost everyone at the company is incredibly smart. I also really enjoyed immersion trips, where Epic allows their developers to see the software in use by their customers, which is eye-opening.

Horrible PTO (6.5 holidays & 2 weeks of vacation), compared to similar companies. The company culture is quite toxic because they encourage an unhealthy work-life balance. I was working an average of 45 hours a week, and my TL said I should try to average 50 hours even though I was finishing all of my work. Upper management has tarnished their reputation in most of their employees' eyes since COVID began. Every decision they've made regarding their COVID-19 response has been against the health of their employees. Once the economy settles down again, Epic will see a large amount of talent leave the company.

Stop gaslighting your employees when they speak up about bad decisions you're making.

Need to learn how to admit your mistakes and fix them, instead of doubling down.
