Where are you working after leaving Epic Systems??

Hi I am currently going through the interview process with Epic Systems. It looks fine to me at least right now. But when I visited web for the company feedback I got scared.

My main question is for former Epic employees. Epic works with old technology(Cache/Mumps mainly) and secondly the contract that you have to sign that you can't work for the competitors and clients. So, what you did after you left Epic?? Trust me, this will help me and lot others to take the right decision.

"Should I consider Epic as a stepping stone in my career??"

I forgot to mention in the above post that I have applied for a Software Developer role.

Epic requires a non-compete agreement that would pretty much prevent you from working in the industry for a year after leaving their employment. They also make agreements with the hospitals they work with and partnered consulting companies that prevent them from hiring you. That would be redundant but it prevents employees with older contracts that don't include the non-compete from leaving Epic. They don't mention those non-hire agreements when they hire you.

I ended up going back to school for a masters degree, which is a nice way to wait out the non-compete. Though I ended up in web design, rather than actually using my VB/Cache experience. Epic was useful as a starting point to be able to say "I've worked in a software design environment", but working at Epic for additional years beyond the first or second would seem to have diminishing returns.
