Pros
The compensation at Epic is excellent. We are definitely paid above industry average, given our level of experience. Raises are excellent as well - pay goes up very quickly. Bonuses are good as well. Benefits are also very good. There is a 4 week paid sabbatical to other countries after you've been their for 5 years, in addition to vacation. Besides compensation & benefits, the job is very challenging and interesting at first. Epic provides a lot of training, but healthcare is a very complex industry to learn about. This leads to a steep, but challenging learning curve, in a good way. Also, Epic doesn't micro-manage its employees' daily activities. This can be very good as you have a lot freedom to get the job done in the way you see fit. You do have a mentor on projects, but are not tightly controlled in most aspects of daily work.
Cons
The stress of the project management job wears you down over time. While 80 hour work weeks are uncommon except at go-lives (despite what other reviews may say), 60 hour work weeks are common when traveling (only around 45-50 hours/week while in the office). The travel itself is draining as you're constantly in different places and usually not very exciting parts of the country. Besides stress, the job just becomes boring over time. Career advancement at Epic is almost non-existent. After the first few years of learning what to do, you're essentially doing the same thing over and over at different customers. It is also difficult to transition to other applications or roles. The software itself is overly complex, which leads to very long implementations with many issues arising. Development to improve some issues can be slow. Also, you encounter the same problems at many customers, which is incredibly frustrating. Top management is too centralized and they will not farm out any decisions. This may have worked in a company of 250 people, but does not work with 3300 people.
