I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Jun 2011
Interview
A recruiter contacted me to apply, which led to a phone interview. During the phone interview I was informed that I would be brought to Madison.
In Madison there were about 30 people interviewing and I was given the impression that they have that many people there interviewing each day. A full day of assessments and interviews with various people occurred. I was called a few weeks later and a voicemail was left by the recruiter informing me that I was not selected to continue.

Interview
I completed Epic's standard personality profile and was set up with a video interview a week later. Most of the interview was basic, verifying facts that I entered into the application system or that were on my resume. And then we got hung up on why I picked the graduate program I chose. My interviewer didn't seem to understand the general structure of graduate programs in my field and by the time I realized that we had spent ten minutes talking about it. That or it was some kind of weird test. I felt like that was probably what worked against me the most, and I honestly feel like it was a "luck of the draw" matter. Which is unfortunate because I really do have a lot to bring to their company and I would have liked to see it through further.
