Pros

99% of the time, there's no need to dress up. Awesome campus. What you do does help someone. They don't seem overly focused on the bottom line, but seem to care most about the product they develop. Offices for everyone (everyone gets an office either to themselves, or shared with one other person).

Cons

There's no formal required time to be there, but the whole company seems to run on 8-5 and deviating from that feels difficult. There isn't much variation in the work done: in general, you're working on one part of a giant smart-form. Offices for everyone is nice over cube-land in some respects, but it also makes it feel like you're separated from everyone else and a bit claustrophobic (especially if you don't have a window). They seem to be trying to sell themselves to their employees a bit too much. If the "Helping People" motivator doesn't work for you, you might be in the wrong place.

Advice to Management

It's understandable that people who deal with physicians (or other not-Epic people) ought to know some of the selling points of the software, but going over it in great detail at the company wide staff meeting makes it feel like you're shoving it down my throat each month.
