Pros

Interesting campus, fantastic food for cheap, VERY smart co-workers, software is incredible (if extremely complex); wildly successful corporation

Cons

Rarely is one's best work considered good enough. There is always fault to be found. Never before have I heard these phrases uttered so often: leadership by fear, viper pit, thrown under the bus, cover your ass, fly under the radar. The "Judy spotlight" is dreadful and should be avoided at all costs. I arrived at Epic with a ton of experience and high performance ratings. I worked hard. I was engaged and contributed. I succeed at several significant projects where my predecessors has struggled. I was one of the few people who could survive "Judy review" on the first pass. My family life suffered because I was working all the time. I left feeling like I was worthless.

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
