Great pay but bad work-life balance. Good place to start as new hire. - Software Developer Epic Employee Review

Pros

Their in-house food is cheap and delicious. Campus is beautiful. You get your own room instead of working in cubicles. Madison is great town to live with tons of outdoor activities. Works that you do is interesting and help saving lives.

Cons

Terrible WFH policy (5 days per years) and work-life balanced where they expect you to work 45 hours/week without overtime pay (it's written in contract saying the pay reflects this extra effort). I remember asking HR this during my interview and they dodged this question. Management depends on the team, but mine wasn't great with a lot of last-minute pushes every quarter. They track your performance in the background. Promotion is not a thing.
