Pros

High autonomy; Merit-based compensation and incentives; Huge impact / meaningful work; Early growth opportunities; Very competitive compensation (given the cost of living in Madison especially); Madison itself (top 3 places to live in US); Working with smart people; New challenges every week.

Cons

If you work at Epic, you will likely work hard... but I honestly feel like you "reap what you sow. ". Remember that saying "Yes, if..." or "No" is OK if your workload is already very high - Epic hires a lot of bright, motivated individuals who have the tendency to take on more than they can handle and feel like they can't offload some of their work after the fact. If you can manage your workload and put in the extra effort when necessary, you'll do great.

Pros

Impact: You are part of creating systemic level change for healthcare organizations. You get to be on site and work directly with providers and see how these changes impact their communities. People: Extremely smart and capable. I feel like I can rely on my team in a way I haven't at previous employers. New hires are entry level, so there's a strong community for people in a similar stage of life. Culture: Quirky but in a real, unique way. People are collaborative and celebrate shared accomplishments. The campus enshrines a very specific (and fun!) vibe. Location: Madison is awesome. Benefits: The health insurance is unparalleled. Sabbatical is a super cool perk too. Growth: A lot of autonomy and responsibility allows people to rise to the challenge. Stability: Solid industry, no lay-offs.

Cons

Remote work flexibility: 5 days a year
