• Good food
• Interesting campus architecture
• Incentive bonuses for top employees

Long Hours - Only working 40 hours a week may be considered under performance, depending on your TL (Team Lead).

High Expectations - Epic does not tolerate mediocrity. Underperformers will be asked to leave the company.

Little Supervision - You are expected to develop complex and robust systems with minimal guidance. Additionally, the original code owner may have left the company.

Short Tenure - Due to burnout and other factors, most Epic employees are relatively new. That means that many employees are not knowledgeable about the codebase.

Little Time Off - Epic devs receive 2 weeks off per year, rather than the standard 4.

Epic does not prioritize diversity in hiring.

Working employees less will result in less burnout and more knowledge retention, which will reduce the number of fires.
