So I just got a job offer from a medical software company called Epic. However, I've been reading some things online about them and I'm unsure of what to think. I know for instance that they still use MUMPS and Cache. Those mean nothing to me but I understand they're out of date or something.
Another site called them "Electronic sweatshops" that overwork and underpay young people.

Does anyone have anything to offer on the subject?

Welcome to The American Dream. I believe you'll find that's how capitalism works.


Sorry, that sounds facetious. No, I know nothing about the company you mention. I'm sure they are no better or worse than any other regular company.

They're pretty elitist. They want people young, straight of college with high GPAs and they don't care about experience.
