Svantaggi
- Upper management is out of touch. - Basically no tolerance for WFH and committed to never moving that direction. - Depends on your team, but work-life balance is typically not great. Epic views its employees as temporary assets, and it will get what it can out of you until you've had enough. - General competency at Epic seems to be in decline as Epic struggles to recruit and retain talent. - Epic uses a lot of outdated technologies. - Productivity is very low. Even small projects take a lot of time and effort because Epic is such an enormous integrated system, which means that you nearly always need significant input from other teams, and those other teams often lack the expertise to help because so few people stick around long-term. - Benefits are well below industry standard. - The noncompete is pretty vicious. - Epic insists that the cost of living in Madison is very low, and that's true if you compare Epic to the west coast, but in reality Madison is a fairly expensive place to live and it's getting much more expensive every year.
