The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Nov 2010
Interview
I first had a phone interview which consisted of behavioral questions. Then, we moved on to a short written programming test, conducted on campus. After that, I was called on site.
The on-site experience was pleasant except for 1 round. There was a short minute test with simple brain teasers. A test that introduced a new programming language, a test in quantitative reasoning and verbal reasoning were are also present.

Question 1
Top 2 strengths and weaknesses under a particular employer.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Apr 2010
Interview
Phone interview, online IQ test, then got flown to WI. They had HUNDREDS of students there. Campus is nice but it seemed like a facade as they had a high turnover rate. Had 3 1:1 interviews than a 10 minute presentation. Overall - what a f**** hassle for nothing.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Dec 2010
Interview
I was first contacted by email by their recruiter asking if I might be interested in opportunities at Epic. I replied saying that I'm interested in Software Development and sent my resume, without officially applying, and they scheduled a Developer to interview me via phone. Even though it was with a senior software developer, the interview wasn't technical at all. He asked me about one of my projects but without going into more detail he just wanted me to ask him questions about being a software developer at Epic. He was very friendly and easy going and we ended up talking about the food and $5 desserts available at Epic. He seemed to enjoy working there very much.
The second round of interview was a skills assessment. Since I'm not living in the same state as the company they mailed a copy of the problems to a local library and set up a proctor for me. It was a 5 written programming problems in a language of my choice. They even allowed pseudo code because they're more interested in your logical thinking than you knowing things you can google later. They measure accuracy and how long it takes you to finish all the problems.
