Epic Systems demographics and statistics

Benefits (PCP and BH free, Rx under $20) and high salary. Learned a lot about myself and how I function in an office-setting. lots of skills developed, learned about Epic and the software world, connected with coworkers and customers. The software is good and truly helps users in the medical field.

Overworked, under-trained. Expectations are way too high way too quickly. They claim to care about work/life balance but then have lots of things that encourage long hours and high stress. They are very resistant to providing accomodations or considering their employees' perspectives. Require in-person even for devs who never leave their offices. There is a lot of corporate culture and competitiveness, and though they say they value feedback and have various feedback tools, all the feedback I ever got was my team lead telling me "I've gotten feedback that you..." rather than the person telling me directly. There's a lot more training on culture and broad concepts, but all the day to day stuff is basically learn-as-you-go and you have to sink or swim on your own. There's also a ton of systemic issues (classism is the biggest, but racism/sexism/etc are also apparent in various ways) that are not being heard or addressed.

The cow bikes they have on campus in the summer were honestly one of those "little joys" for me, they are cute and fun and give me a mental break with some physical movement. Also free therapy and GP visits is huge for me.

She has good ideas for the software, and is a female CEO, which helps counter gender norms (though she doesn't do much to fix the sexism in her company).

Way more focus on mental and physical health, more sick and vacation time. Allowing 100% remote work as an accommodation and offering more work from home days in general. Unionize.

Higher than average (I think). Epic pays employees a lot, presumably to try to get them to stay since they have so much turnover

Lacking. There does not seem to be much effort put towards hiring diverse candidates, and the demographics of the various roles align with typical stereotypes (construction/facilities are overwhelmingly male). There are ERGs for various groups, but not much else. Our DEI team doesn't seem to be able to push much up the chain, I dont think leadership wants to change
