| I received an email from a company called Epic, they specialize in health care/medical software. They're hiring software developers to work in Madison, WI. They look pretty interesting. I told my parents about the company because they drive to Madison quite often. Last week they drove past the company's campus and said that it looks pretty respectable.
Hello ,
My name is Katie, and I work for Epic in Madison, Wisconsin. As the contact person for the Association for Computing Machinery, U of I, I wanted to let you know about a career opportunity that your members may be interested in. Each year we receive resumes from graduates of University of Iowa, and we’ve seen many of them go on to have successful careers at Epic.
Epic, a Madison, Wisconsin-based software company, is a national leader in software development for healthcare systems. We support some of the largest and most respected healthcare organizations in the country. Over the last 15 years we have seen steady growth, and organizations currently using our software care for about 70 million people across the United States. That means that 1 in 5 people in the U.S. are directly affected by the work we do. Beyond all of that, Epic is an exciting, innovative place to work.
Many people with your background find that either our Problem Solver/Technical Services or Software Development position matches their interests and skills.
In Technical Services, you’ll use your problem-solving and programming skills, combined with our comprehensive training program, to help support our nationwide clients. You'll become an expert in our applications and work closely with our customers' most technical staff to help ensure their organizations' continued success. Beyond your work with our customers, you will have the opportunity to participate in many aspects of the software field, including troubleshooting, development, analysis, training, quality assurance, project management and installation. Technical Services is a dynamic role, requiring quick thinking, motivation, and a willingness to learn.
As a Software Developer, you’ll be working on a small team and you'll participate in all aspects of the development process, from meeting customers and designing cutting-edge functionality through implementation, quality assurance, and delivery. To qualify, you must have a BS/BA or MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Math, plus a track record of academic excellence. Because Epic sponsors visas for qualified applicants, this position is open to international students.

For fastest consideration, please apply online at: http://www.epic.com/forms/application.php
Thank you for your interest in Epic, and we look forward to (hopefully) reviewing your application.
Sincerely,
katie terry

| I believe Chris Bush (former ACM member) has a job at Epic, for anyone who is curious or wants someone to contact about the company.

| Dude, I've recieved somthing similar and after reviewing the company I found MANY reasons not to work there. I strongly advise you to Google them and read some forums and make your own desicsion, but I can tell you that my research scared me from these people...despite their very nice facade.

| Does Chris still work there? Anyone know? I'm sure he could tell us how it is if we could contact him. I think he's a Facebook friend of mine if you want me to get in touch with him.

Interesting, something must have changed from when I last asked him about his job situation. I thought the Epic thing was all locked up.
Good to know!
