Epic Systems

• Benefits/401k are nice.
• The food court and Casseiopeia cafeteria are good, but overrated. They were getting more expensive and crowded when I left, and I heard it is worse now.
• Coworkers were generally pretty awesome to work with.

• Pay structure is a mystery. Whoever kisses up the best usually has the best ranking, and thus, the best pay.

• Upper management tries to manage it as a small company, despite the fact it is not a small company anymore.

• Monthly staff meetings were brutal.

• CEO has no work-life balance (90-hour work weeks) and expects her employees to do the same.

• Management will drop you very fast if you make one mistake. Expect zero loyalty from coworkers, especially your TL. Do not trust your TL.

• Tries to come off as the "little guy" against all those big companies, yet it is not. CEO is a lobbyist (who pushed for the whole meaningful use thing).

• Industry is a bubble propped up by government spending at the moment. It will burst eventually, yet Epic doesn't seem to realize this and keeps expanding and spending money on frivolous things (like a new auditorium that is used 12 times per year).

More transparency and honesty.

More feedback to employees.
