Epic Software Developer reviews

- For a software engineer, the technology that you'll work with are old. Except for a few teams that uses new and cool technology. But the chances that you'll get into those teams are less. - Difficult to get a job elsewhere. Not just in healthcare industry but also in other software companies because of the old technology that no one uses.

Getting promoted to a team lead is purely based on the hours you log. This means there are a lot of incompetent team leads. Some are very good, some are very bad. It also means you have a lot of people with 1 1/2 years experience managing an entire product and managing people who have been there much longer. Feedback is very minimal. Work-life balance is just plain awful. If you work less than 45 hours a week, you will be considered a "bad" employee (even if you finish all of the work assigned). Senior management cares more about customers than employees. This means if a customer doesn't like you for whatever reason, you will get fired. While the company pretends to be liberal, it is run like they were arch conservatives. People who try to start unions "disappear" for unknown reasons. Information is hidden from its employees (despite what they tell you during staff meetings). Despite what they tell you as well, dissenting opinions are NOT encouraged. Staff meetings are basically them trying to brainwash you with corporate propaganda for 2 hours. Once a person reaches a certain point of experience (typically at the 2 or 4 year mark), management will try to get rid of them.
