Very difficult to have a family as well work in Epic.. chose one of them or lose both !
Pros
- good insurance coverage - no dress code - Good cafeteria, cheap and good food!
Cons
- Most of the development is done in VB6 and cache. Both the technologies are considered prehistoric else where. - There will be no such thing called life, there will be enough work to keep you busy all the time. Fear of getting negative feedback from your team lead, will motivate you to work over the weekends. - You will not be able to spend time with your family even in the holidays, without having to bother about work. - Go-live is mandatory, you end up standing 8-12 hours in the clinic. You are expected to work, even in those days, don't ask me how....you have 24 hrs in a day !! - The company doesn't prefer/recruit experienced people, they know that people with prior experience can't stand their terrible work culture. - Too much micromanagement in the company. - Work from home, is an option you can use only during the weekends/holidays. - No appreciation for your hard work, negative criticism is all you can expect from your Team Lead.
