Really hit or miss

Recommend

Pros

- Really lax about vacation - Well defined benefits - 3% 401k match & 100% coverage healthcare

Cons

- Weirdly strong anti-WFH sentiment from upper management - Expect you work 42+ hours a week (and apparently that's on the better side) - You WILL be stuck using a whole bunch of proprietary stuff though thankfully that's no longer so much the case - The campus is just. too big. Do not recommend. It looks cool at first but that's how they get you

Good first job

Pros

- good compensation, good benefits - Coworkers are great. Everyone I've worked with is competent. - Working for a large, well known software company. There's a lot of potential to move on to other large companies that pay well when you are ready. - Working on high impact software. They are the industry leader. - The cafeteria food is great. - Very stable company. Epic is not going anywhere anytime soon. If you like it, you can stay for life and retire in 25 years. - You get a lot of autonomy and privacy while working. the single-seater offices are nice compared to cubicles or open office environment.

Cons

- There are no BAs nor are there PMs. You as a developer will have to take on those roles at times. - Depending on what projects you work on, you may not be developing technical skills that are valuable to the rest of the software industry. You can spend months or years just programming in MUMPS. - The Disney-like campus is not my thing.

Pros

I met some amazing friends and earned some good money.

Cons

I deeply regret staying at this company for as long as I did. If you absolutely must work there (and I do not recommend it), plan your exit as soon as you accept your offer. Don't languish for 3 years, let alone 5 or 10. Some vocal employees like working there, but they are the exceptions; this place will churn through you, Process you to death, and toss you away without a second thought.
