That being said it's a GREAT springboard to better companies--I got contacted by FAAG+ recruiters (no N), offers at all, and declined for a better offer at a smaller company. The sooner you GTFO the better though; long term Epic is a horrible employer. Short term (<2 yrs) it was a good one - I've heard very bad things from friends still there that are looking to leave so that might not be the case, but there are so many incompetent employees you can work <20hrs/wk and focus on getting a better job elsewhere!
Very good 401k plan, decent insurance.
WLB is generally pretty good for *most*. Some teams are 50hr/wks.
Quality of work in general is poor - most teams are not working on particularly interesting projects in my experience, and our codebase quality has not been the best in my experience.
That being said, if you join planning to stay a year or two, i think it’s not bad. They’ll pay for you to get your AWS cert, and it’s a decent jumping off point to larger companies.
Also not bad if you are not work motivated and just wanna find a chill team to coast to retirement on.
Feel free to DM if you have questions about cap1, but you’ll know more than me about our offers after your call (we got a market adjustment in july and there are rumors of another at the end of the year)
Madison is a nice little city and much lower CoL compared to Chicago.
Note that Epic permits zero WFH, and has sub-par vacation and 401k compared to rest of industry. Though health insurance is phenomenal.
There are better opportunities out there.
