I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Mar 2010
Interview
The first part of the interview process is a phone interview. They have someone call you from the department you are applying to and they just ask some very basic questions. They spend a majority of the time just telling you about the company and provide time for you to ask questions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Mar 2010
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter for the company and they asked me to fill out an application. After submitting the application, I was contacted by another HR person. They had me fill out another personal information form, that asked the same questions as the initial application. They requested my SAT scores, which was odd. I also had to take a Personality Test that took about 20 minutes. After submission, I was informed that my information was being processed by another HR person and would be contacted shortly for a phone interview. The phone interview was fairly easy. They asked me a bunch of personal questions to try and get to know me, get a feel for me.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Feb 2010
Interview
The phone interview was exactly as stated on here. The interview questions are also EXACTLY the same as stated on here and everywhere else. Do not worry about these components.
The few parts I didn't do as well on (and I think carry a little more weight) are the presentation, tests, and college record. I've read everywhere that the programming test (for project manager candidates) is easy, but I definitely struggled, and I consider myself strong technically/mathematically. I also picked the wrong presentation topic and ended up a little flustered.
I went out to eat with other candidates the night before, but I sincerely don't think they keep track of or care whether you choose this option or not. They will ask you all day long to ask questions of them, so be prepared. It was a really fun experience and everyone who interviews seems miraculously smart and somewhat like-minded!
The last thing I can remember and want to mention is that they'll ask you a million times about your assertiveness. I strongly got the feeling they WANT assertive people. I asked one of my interviewers later and she confirmed the epic people are "type A personalities who feel compelled to voice their opinions". Hope this helps...
