Cons
-Epic demands a lot from its employees, and to succeed you typically need to dedicate a lot of time beyond your contracted hours, at which point the salary is much less competitive. -After 2-3 years the salary is distinctly average compared to other STEM graduate jobs -The company is large and buearucratic, any complaints get lost in the leadership chain -Basically no remote work (5 days per year) -Your experience at Epic varies massively based on if your team leader likes you or not, if they don't like you expect poor raises and extra work put on your plate, often to force you out the company -Large pay and benefits dispartity between local UK hires and US hires who are brought to Bristol who do the same job, many local hires feel they are viewed as second rate employees and optics hires. Management claim that local hires are the future of the company in Bristol but it felt like lip service given how any issues that affect local hires were not treated with any care or urgency from upper management, and how few of these employees there now are.
