The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Nov 2011
Interview
Well, this is how my story goes! I uploaded my resume at a job site. I was promptly emailed by a recruiter asking me to apply for a software engineer position. I knew I wasn't suited for it because my programming skills are at the beginner level, but I applied anyway. After a few days, I was emailed by HR that they had decided to proceed with other candidates for that position but they asked if I was interested in trying out for this position. I replied with a positive and by the end of that I had a scheduled (1/2 hr) phone interview with a manager who gave me a description of the job and asked me behavioral questions. Then I was scheduled to take a test for which I was told " I needn't prepare for it". Trust me, you should. I made the mistake of not asking people in time and not doing enough research. Plus I was ill prepared for the programming assignment. and that took up most of my time because speed is equally weighed with accuracy! :(
All in all, I know I screwed up this opportunity, but through the whole thing I felt that EPIC would be a great company to work for. The people I interacted with were prompt and nice and they alleviated the tension that comes with waiting.
All in all I was happy with the process but would have been ecstatic if I got the job!
Well Back to the hunt for me!
All the best!
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Nov 2011
Interview
The interview was very casual and relaxed. The interviewer asked me about my resume, and interest in healthcare. After the phone interview I was invited to WI to interview in person including giving a 10 minute presentation on a topic of my choice.

Question 1
What from your previous experiences will make you a good fit at Epic?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Nov 2011
Interview
First, was contacted by a recruiter via Monster.com. From there, submitted application on their website. (Horribly buggy application form.)
Standard phone interview after that, asking pretty much 100% stuff that I'd already answered in the application. Definitely some questions that were getting at finding out my age.
From there, they flew me to Madison, for a day of on-site interviews, tours, etc. Had interview for two different positions. (One was 1:1, one was 2:1, the two being myself and another application with an interviewer.) Math/Verbal/Programming test, nothing terribly complicated.
Still waiting to hear on their final decision. (Which should come this week or next - they said two weeks.) When that happens, I'll update accordingly and flesh this out.)
