Vantaggi
Epic is a very fast paced environment with incredibly bright people who work very hard. It's an amazing place to learn from others and the lessons during my 3 years there as a PM were invaluable. I definitely burnt out on the travel, emails, and hours, but looking back I am so grateful for the experience. - Pay is outstanding (starting wage just okay, but top performers increase quickly! My raises were > 20% 3 years in a row) - Open culture, very feedback oriented. Learn a lot very quickly. - Amazing amount of ownership very early on - Progressive - Felt like everyone was in it to do the right thing, from top-to-bottom
Svantaggi
For implementation staff it's work, work, work. Lots of travel, and your friend group is often the same folks you travel with, so you end up spending a lot of your free time also talking about work. A lot of folks leave in worse physical shape than when they started from the stress and the travel. Basically no opportunity to advance, but lots of opportunity to learn new skills.
