Pros
  • The healthcare is probably one of the best you can get in the US.
  • Co-workers are pretty great; I haven't met anyone that's rubbed me the wrong way.
  • On a general tech industry side, being able to work on things that are not vapid, but something truly helpful and meaningful, is exceedingly rare in modern times. You get that here.
Cons

There's a lot of proprietary tooling that is Epic built that you have to use as a dev. These internal teams seem to be held to a different standard than everyone else, maybe out of necessity because those teams tend to be smaller. But that means that the tools you have to use to do your job can be frustrating to use or just inadequate.

Judy and her circle are quite peculiar. They also want to do things their way and keep on trying to force it their way. It feels kinda brainwash-y at times. The most egregious is the work from home policy and the aftermath of the pandemic. Thankfully, vanishingly few actual people you interact with at the company seem to drink the Kool-Aid, but still.
