Epic Systems

Great people. Great food.

Madison is a neat place in the summer.

The product really does help clinicians and patients and seems to be the best in the industry. Growing quickly.

Projects are overly feature-driven rather than user-experience-driven. The development lifecycle is arduous. Hiring a ton of people means there isn't a lot of chemistry. You can get stuck in groups using legacy technology and platforms, e.g., VB6 and Cache.

Hire some experts in the platforms you are utilizing and have them rewrite and reteach the best programming practices for each.

Lots of dependencies and tight coupling when there shouldn't be.

Everyone in their own office makes people scared to talk with each other.
