Epic Systems

Literally nothing.

Food is okay, but not free.

Campus is beautiful, but as a developer, what can you benefit from it?

1. Everything is outdated. They are migrating to web applications, but everything is based on a very ugly framework designed and implemented by themselves. I have zero idea why they have to build everything themselves. Do they really think their employees outsmart other developers across the world?

Ok, fine, some big tech companies like Google and FB also have a bunch of internal tools and kits developed by their own. But what gives Epic Systems such confidence to compare themselves with tech giants? Epic is barely a tech company.

1. The board tries to brainwash everybody.

2. Only 10 days vacation every year. Plus, managers are not supposed to write recommendation letters or any sort of support for formal employees. They do everything they can to keep you "loyal" to the company. Basically, if you turn your back on them, they wish you dead.

3. The codebase is a mess.

4. You learn absolutely nothing useful for your career if you don't want to spend your entire life here.

If you don't trust me, try it yourself, and good luck!
