Pros

- Good food. - Fun campus. - Many of the co-workers I've met have truly been wonderful to work with and learn from. - Self-driven to a degree.

Cons

- All that flat management structure and private ownership mean is that it concentrates power even more in the hands of a select, out-of-touch few. - Ancient coding languages used - Cult-like culture that emphasizes secrecy and often dishonesty. They try to be nerdy and "fun" but it just rings hollow. - Endless distractions, running from issue to issue while trying to juggle an increasing load of internal work. - Work-life balance? More like work-life integration. - Located in a city filled with other Epic employees with endless, frigid winters.

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
