Epic reviews

- Hours can be long if you aren't assertive about work/life balance - Too many processes, many of which have demonstrably negative ROI - When there is a pandemic, upper management would rather force us to work in half-sized broom closet offices or to wear masks all day while doubled up in an office, than just let us work from home a few more months

Epic asks you to prioritize its needs & customer needs over your own health and well-being. Refusing to compromise your value as a human being will lead to being told you aren't understanding Epic's unique "culture". Maybe half the workforce will agree with you in private but needs the job; the other half will gaslight you into oblivion, politely reminding you that this isn't a 9-5 job and you should just get over it. Epic makes an important product but does so at the expense of its employees' mental health. Sacrificing evenings, weekends, etc. to spend 12+ hour days at a customer site borders on being exploited in my mind. Obviously the COVID response was and continues to be botched but people who were surprised by it are deluding themselves; the abuse and disdain is systemic. Career opportunities: a few symbolic opportunities but the company is just too large to allow for real advancement Compensation: great pay & raises, great insurance Work/life balance: forget about it Senior management: busy losing a culture war Culture and values: delicious Kool-Aid, drink up!
