Never been great, only getting worse

Pros

Great coworkers, salary, food, and health benefits. Great jumping-off point into better, more fulfilling careers.

Cons

Basically everything else. Upper management is completely out of touch with reality, unreasonable, and inflexible, time off policies are subpar for the industry, work-life balance is horrible, and employees are treated as expendable resources rather than people with lives. These things have always been true, but recent responses to COVID-19 and BLM have accentuated these flaws to a breaking point and it's become crystal clear that Epic is fully aware of what they're doing and they don't care at all.

Pros

Never ending list of interesting problems Tons of very smart people Campus food is amazing Pay is very good for the region

Cons

Metrics related to quality often leaves me with the feeling of fixing issues so the team gets below an arbitrary number of bugs per developer. These metrics become super high priority since, if they get bad enough, progress on new development has to stop. Epic is a code factory. There are no sprints. If you finish a bug early, you get assigned another one with your newly found bandwidth. Everyone is on high alert all the time. There is no downtime at Epic. Though they're a vital and important piece of developing at Epic, translation and screen reader issues can be annoying to fix. The processes can get very grindy, especially for project development. Getting approval to start or complete development on a project can suck time out of your week really quickly. Management's handling of COVID has left me with a bad taste in my mouth. For a company that is so driven by metrics and who touts that we allow health care organizations to be data driven, the only explanation we've heard for coming back to work is that "meetings are hard virtually".
