Epic Systems

1. Good compensation for living in Madison
2. Great campus and individual office spaces
3. Good subsidized food

1. Learning seizes at around the 6-month to 1-year mark. You basically get to know Mumps and C#.

2. In most of the team, there is no challenging work other than web migration, which is basically converting the VB-based modules to Web. Even in this, most of the ASP.NET part of the code is abstracted by the foundation framework that already exists.

3. A bad Team Lead is the norm, and a lot of your success in the organization depends on the Team Lead that you get.

4. Raises are based on ratings that are not transparent and depend a lot on your TL.

5. There is no work-from-home policy and less flexibility in terms of when and where you work from.

6. You need to log your time every day and mention any work-related activity that you did for more than 15 minutes. You are expected to have >= 45 hours a week. TLs are expected to review this every week.

Management is disconnected from the first-level employees, which is weird given the flat structure of the company.
