Pros

-Awesome campus -Great coworkers -Nice perks -Good salaries (though when you break it down by hour, it doesn't seem so good here)

Cons

I can only speak from my personal experience here. My direct supervisor was abusive to me, and my team lead (who was good friends with my supervisor) turned a blind eye. My supervisor's behavior included but was not limited to: calling me at all hours of the night to scream at me, sending me dozens of abusive emails, and berating me for things like coughing while on the phone with a customer (seriously). I worked over 90 hours/week on a few occasions (though many of my friends worked much harder than me) but it was never, ever enough. It's a huge crapshoot in terms of where you get staffed and what your customer is like. Epic was a miserable experience for me and quitting was the best decision of my life, though I know a few people who are satisfied with their positions there (most of my friends are also miserable, though, and either desperately looking for a way out or have gleefully left Epic).

Pros

Impact: You are part of creating systemic level change for healthcare organizations. You get to be on site and work directly with providers and see how these changes impact their communities. People: Extremely smart and capable. I feel like I can rely on my team in a way I haven't at previous employers. New hires are entry level, so there's a strong community for people in a similar stage of life. Culture: Quirky but in a real, unique way. People are collaborative and celebrate shared accomplishments. The campus enshrines a very specific (and fun!) vibe. Location: Madison is awesome. Benefits: The health insurance is unparalleled. Sabbatical is a super cool perk too. Growth: A lot of autonomy and responsibility allows people to rise to the challenge. Stability: Solid industry, no lay-offs.

Cons

Remote work flexibility: 5 days a year
