Was contacted by an Epic recruiter who saw my resume online. I researched the position and saw they offer high salaries typically so I went ahead and applied. After submitting my application I had to take a personality profile test, which basically asked that same question 20 different ways. After a short phone screen I was invited for an onsite. The place is huge and beautiful, but it was a little odd. Employees didn't seem particularly happy but it is work after all. The day consisted of touring the grounds, software demos, case scenarios, and tests. None of the tests were too bad, except the programming one at the end of the day. I haven't done any programming work in a while and was pretty tired at this point, but I hear that that's sort of optional anyways because they teach you all you need to know.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Jun 2012
Interview
After submitting a standard online application, I was asked to do an hour long assessment at a testing center (I assume if you are from Wisconsin, you go to Epic headquarter and take the assessment there). I passed it and after an easy phone interview which consisted of my future interest, I was flown to Madison, Wisconsin where I had a dinner with an employee the night before and had a super day that consisted of presentations of what Epic does, 2 interviews with employees, a presentation on anything that interests you, and a final closing wrap-up interview with recruiter. It was really awkward with recruiter for some reason, and I did not respond well to some questions so I knew I did not get an offer that day. Otherwise, it's a great firm to start your career, but I have heard that turnover is insanely high. I have not seen a single employee over 30 years old.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the characteristics of your ideal supervisor?
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI)
Interview
Interview consisted of an on campus interview first, followed by a logic and programming skills test on campus.
I traveled to Verona for my actual interview. I had a role overview and various interviews. I remember that my interviews were with folks who actually did the Technical Services role that I was interviewing for. One individual Patrick made such an impression on me because of the time he took to meet with me and answer my questions and that I recongnized him years after the interview.
