Pros

The pay is pretty good

Cons

-Management has had a very poor response to the COVID19 pandemic. They have not made employee health and safety a priority when making decisions. When it started getting really bad in the US, they were very behind in allowing WFH, so much so that a petition was started. Once they eventually caved, they worded it in a way that basically shamed people from doing it and still encouraged people to come in. Their reluctance to take precautions to protect employees is a very common pattern throughout their communications during this pandemic. Starting in mid July they will begin forcing employees back to campus with no option to WFH with all employees back on campus by the end of August. This is despite cases increasing and the CDC still recommending that employees work remotely if they can. There has been almost no transparency into why they have decided to risk our health to be on campus. Additionally, when we return they are not requiring masks to be worn despite the fact that there will be around 10,000 people on campus. -Work from home is not allowed normally, even though you will mostly work on independent projects that don't require seeing or interacting with people on the day to day. -You'll be told that you will be working in languages like Javascript and C# when interviewing, but when you actually start working you will be coding in M, which no other companies use, giving you no transferable experience. -Epic heavily bases your performance on the time you log and will encourage a poor work life balance. -Vacation is low compared to competitors.

Pros

Good salary for the Madison cost of living Nice campus & culinary Collaborative atmosphere (Usually) meaningful work

Cons

Workload can get very intense Upper management is very opaque, resistant to change, and actively quashes dissent. COVID-19 response was very delayed, and permission to work from home is being revoked against health department suggestions.

Pros

Decent pay for a starter job, good food, everyone gets an office (either your own or shared with 1 other person). Fun campus, comfortable physical environment and good amenities. Good insurance benefits. Meaningful, impactful work. And the Madison area is a good place to live despite the inflated housing market.

Cons

Upper management values productivity and profit over the health and safety of employees. Upper management does not respect employees or seriously consider their feedback. Recruiters lie about hours expectations; overtime work of at least a few hours every week is necessary and demanded. PTO benefits meets expectations but are not enough to make up for the extra hours required every week. The response to COVID has been abhorrent. They are requiring us to fully return to working from work with no evidence the pandemic is subsiding and no evidence that working from campus is any more beneficial to employees or the company than working from home, and they aren't even requiring masks. Perceived productivity is actively valued more highly than employee health and safety.
