I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI) in Oct 2010
Interview
I was contacted online by Epic's HR, suggesting I apply for the Project manager position. There was a phone interview about a week later, and they invited me to Verona for an interview in person. So I flew out a week later, was put up at a nice hotel with 8 other prospective recruits, and taken out to dinner in a group of 2 other recruits and an employee. The next morning, we were ushered into a conference room on Epic campus in the Andromeda building, given a company overview and software demo. There was a small group interview followed by a skills assessment with a single recruiter. Next was a presentation, then lunch at Epic's cafeteria, and another, more focused 1:1 interview. A ~2-hr aptitude/intelligence test followed.
I am still waiting to hear back from Epic; it has been a week and a half. I really don't know whether they eliminate candidates one by one and call the recruits they want at the end of the two-week call window or if the process is the other way around--let's hope that barely over a week isn't a bad thing.
The campus was very nicely laid out, and employees seemed fine. An ex-employee at the airport warned me and another recruit that the company is not kid-friendly, so if we wanted to start a family, it would be tough to get enough time with them while traveling 4 days per week. Thank god I don't want kids.
Overall I like the company, and am hoping I get the call.

Question 1
If you had to criticize someone, would you run the risk of seeming too mean or too nice?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Aug 2010
Interview
The company contacted me after I had posted my resume on Monster.com - they seem to be really looking to expand right now.
My phone interview was great; I spent an hour on the phone with someone who actually works in the position I was interviewing for, instead of having an HR person ask you personality questions. It was more of an informational interview to give me a better idea of the company.
They flew me out to Madison within the next two weeks and put me in a fancy hotel. They took me to dinner the night I arrived, and the interviews started the next day. The campus is an awesome place, and the benefits are amazing. The job seemed pretty cool too - the thing that drew me was that it wasn't the same exact work every day.
The interview day consisted of a one-on-one information session about the position, a demonstration of their software, an interview with a manager in technical services in which they asked for a response to a case question, a typical HR interview (why do you want to work here, etc.), and some skills tests (software, math, verbal).

Question 1
You come into work on a Monday morning and find that you have two new voicemails and a new email. List the order in which you would respond, and why you chose to respond this way.
The question goes on to describe the three situations.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Sep 2010
Interview
Applied through University job board. Was contacted through email to schedule a phone interview. The interview was very easy, about 15 minutes, and just asked very basic questions about my education and past jobs. I then had an opportunity to ask question. I was contacted a week later and instructed to take a skills assessment somewhere nearby. I will be doing that tomorrow. After that they said they would fly me out for an onsite interview should I proceed through to the next round. However, I started off interviewing for a recruiter position and I was told over the phone I was now being considered for a project manager position..which I thought was kinda weird...
