Not a good place to work

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, generally good technical experience. Lots of ownership immediately.

Cons

Everything around the work. Project management seems very poor and you will get jerked around on deadlines. Our companies response to COVID 19 was embarrassing at best and dangerous at worst. Even with the new web transition, you will spend significant time working with extremely dated code in VB or MUMPS. Worst is that management is extremely focused on deadlines which leads to poor long term decision making. Often new code feels slapped together, design discussions are entirely UI focused, and architecture is ignored and suffers as a result. I've seen broken code pushed through by long tenured devs just to hit development complete deadlines and inflate their metrics.

A great place to develop software

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Developers get a ton of ownership over projects at every stage from design through to release - You will probably be on a team that directly has an impact on improving health outcomes for patients - Epic is a very collaborative place, and Epic hires very smart people so the collaboration is actually useful - If you perform well, compensation is generous. Cost of living in Madison is low - You probably will get your own office. No cubicle farms or open office floor plans here - The food is amazing

Cons

- I personally had an extensive work history before I came to Epic, but almost everybody Epic hires is straight out of college. This can give your coworkers a serious lack of perspective; see the review bombing left here recently by a few disgruntled employees over what are actually very reasonable policies. Don't be fooled. - Epic expects you to be honest with your bosses and tell them when you have too much on your plate. This leads to a poor work-life balance for those that never learn this. - This has gotten better and continues to improve, but Epic does not always use the latest technologies. Skills learned at Epic aren't necessarily portable. - As Epic has grown, the red tape around development has also grown. It's not too bad compared to some other places I've worked, but the process can be annoying.

Pros

Food. Pay for the Midwest area

Cons

Horrible leadership. Attempting to get rid of people voicing their concerns based on the "company culture". Not a real tech company.
