Pros

Really cool products and impact Good perks, great healthcare

Cons

Management in cloud services is awful. Disingenuous and predatory practices. Key teams are severely underfunded and pay is way below market so there isn't really an excuse. D&I is ignored as much as possible in engineering You will get burned out and abused until you give up and quit

Pros

I really loved my time at Epic. I know every department is different, but you really can't beat the work-life balance and benefits, including 2 weeks off in the summer and 2 weeks off in the winter AND unlimited PTO. It helps that I had an amazing manager - that makes or breaks anything. Most people are a pleasure to work with - I've only run into 1 or 2 bad apples in almost 2 years.

Cons

Not a lot of diversity at the C-Suite level.
