Pros

Amazing pay, amazing campus, amazing cheap, delicious, healthy food. Everyone is razor-sharp smart. You'll get good experience, and it will look very good on a resume.

Cons

You will be worked to death. I think their main thing is getting people right out of college so they have no idea of what it is like to work at a company that gives a crap about work-life balance. Of course, as an SD, you can't expect much there, but Epic absolutely doesn't care about work-life balance, then pays you to keep you shackled.

Turnover this high isn't normal.

Advice to Management

Require working fewer hours, require something less than going to the office for 50 hours a week.

All this money means nothing if I'm miserable and depressed because my waking hours are 95% work and 5% indulging to forget that I have to do it all again tomorrow or Monday.

There's a reason why Google has higher reviews than you do, because they treat their employees as more than cogs to crush into form.
