QA offer? Run!

Pros

The food is good, facilities are well-kept, and the rural location is nice.

Cons

QA division is both expected to defend product quality and told to let broken code out the door that isn't ready so we don't miss a timeline. Then, when customers find issues, you get the blame. It gets more unpleasant by the month, and the money isn't worth it.

Pros

- Very good food (not free though) - Lots of ownership opportunities - good insurance - you get to wear many hats (you are the PM, designer, etc of your projects) - lots of autonomy in your work - immersion trips to meet customers are rewarding

Cons

- Pay is not competitive given that so many other large tech companies allow remote work. If you're smart enough to get into Epic, you can get into a better company. - Tech stack and infrastructure is terrible and not keen on improving (internal frameworks which are a nightmare to work with, tedious to work on) - Internal tools are frustrating to use and terrible overall - WLB is variable but typically bad - Nearly everyone was a direct hire from college, so you'll be managed and mentored by people with no industry experience (blind leading the blind) - 401k match is mediocre - mediocre vacation time and sick time - toxic culture, stressful - overly aggressive deadlines - upper management is out of touch with the current environment and is falling behind (no remote work, old fashioned values, etc.) - encourages people who rate the company positively on internal surveys to post reviews here, padding the stats - not a pleasant place to be if you are a minority - stack ranking / rank-and-yank / PIP culture like Amazon - the longer you stay and the better you perform, the more work they give you (intending to burn you out) - bad COVID response - management processes are not transparent - actively suppresses workers rights in the Supreme Court (see Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis) - some coworkers are unpleasant to work with and have limited soft skills I deeply regret staying for as long as I did. I should have left after a couple of years for a proper tech company.

Pros

Great pay and good healthcare coverage

Cons

Very little time off including almost no sick days. Company has the ability to allow more flexible work from home policies, but won’t move towards that direction because they perceive it to be less productive. Still regularly holding large 600+ in person meetings during omicron peak while schools are virtual and county recommends work from home where possible. Flagrant disrespect for employees safety.
