Pros

You're given a lot of responsibility right out of college. The company compensates you well for a first job with little or no experience in healthcare.

Cons

Epic is one of the only large companies in Madison. If you don't like your job and want to stay in tech, you're going to need to move to another city. Relocation isn't fully paid back until you finish two years at the company. The perks of working at the company aren't that great when compared to other tech companies (any company in Silicon Valley). You get free juice and popcorn. The lunch is good (not free), but if you work in a building far from the cafeteria taking time to eat there really isn't an option. The developers at the company aren't great. The company programs in MUMPS and a large portion of the developers come from mediocre schools or are brought in from abroad.

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
