Pros

Good Pay Great Benefits Amazing campus with excellent food options

Cons

Pressure to work 50+ hours every week, especially when you start out. My most memorable conversation with my TL was when he implied that if I "really wanted to take ownership of [my] project" then I would have to cancel the 2 week vacation I had scheduled. Epic prioritizes getting software that works out the door, rather than making sure there software can be changed in the future. This means that anytime some existing functionality needs to be modified (either by customer request or by changing regulatory landscape) the project is scoped as if it's a quick change but then the entire module needs to be rewritten. Almost no work from home policy. As of writing this employees get 6 days a year of WFH time, and options to join a meeting remotely are by request only.
