Epic Systems

Lots of opportunities for learning and growth.

Surrounded by bright people.

Ability to get involved with events and responsibilities outside of your role.

People are usually very helpful – "open-door policy".

Fast-paced environment.

Set your own schedule.

Cool campus.

Amazing food at a discounted price.

Healthcare benefits.

Absolutely no work/life balance - a never-ending pile of work. Your reward for working long hours to get caught up is to be given work your coworkers don't have time for.

QA doesn't get paid or respected like the other professional roles (IS/TS/R&D).

Too many processes lead to more time spent documenting and justifying what you did than actually doing your testing.

Stats-driven culture - quantity is monitored more than quality or non-quantifiable contributions.

Burn-out is a real problem, and the people who know what they're doing also know they can get better opportunities elsewhere. Cut back on promises to customers and the amount of work expected in a given release, and I can guarantee all the teams will put out better work across roles.
