The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Nov 2011
Interview
I applied just for the hell of it. Seemed like good and meaningful work, but I wasn't sure Epic was the place for me. Was applying for a position as project manager, but they redirected me into a problem solver application. Had a quick phone chat with someone in the department, very straightforward. Then two weeks later, sat for a few exams. Didn't hear back for a long while, though I didn't really show interest during that period. Eventually heard back that they would go another direction.
Overall, the process was not difficult just rather inefficient. Initially I was exchanging e-mails with a bunch of people and I felt the whole process could have been streamlined.
The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Dec 2011
Interview
Interview process in Madison is grueling. My day consisted of four hours of testing, a presentation on a topic of my choosing, interviews, and demos. Epic definitely knows who they are looking for and has a system down for which kind of people succeed in which roles. Be patient with their HR department and stay confident as you jump through their hoops.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you could invite one person alive or dead to dinner, who would it be?
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Dec 2011
Interview
Long process with online application, IQ test, phone interview (informational), logic/math/programming test, and on-site interview. Overall was very relaxed. Fun work environment.
Presentation is open topic. Had very relaxed presentation with receptive audience. Other meetings primarily consisted of informational sessions and a 1:1 interview with the recruiter. Meals with employees and prospectives were also very relaxed and gave a more fun and personal connection.
