Epic is known locally as an exploitative, abusive employer of software engineers. Work-life balance is poor, pay is mediocre for the industry, and skills with their in-house tools don't transfer outside Epic. They have an extensive non-compete clause with EXTREMELY aggressive enforcement:
They're also vehemently opposed to remote work, to the point that during COVID they tried to force employees back into the office in August, 2020 (!) in violation of a county public health order (!!!):
Epic's Glassdoor reviews are terrible. Several personal friends each lasted less than a year at Epic out of college before finding new, better-paying employment elsewhere. Since Epic is privately owned and its founder and CEO has stated she'll never sell, its corporate culture will never change. It's better than no job at all but if you have other options, avoid.
