I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Dec 2009
Interview
I was contacted by Epic via email asking me to apply online at their site and to finish a personality and aptitude test. After clearing this I was scheduled for a phone interview which was very simple. With simple questions like why do you want to join Epic, Why do you want to become a SE etc. Then I was invited onsite and asked to do a 2 min IQ test, a presentation of project, a new programming test, math test and a programming test. Everything went smoothly for me except the programming test. I guess that messed it up for me and I unfortunately didn't get the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All the questions were pretty straight forward but a couple of questions in the programming test were difficult.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Nov 2009
Interview
Received a email from epic that they have shortlisted me for phone interview. The insisted i take a online test first which consisted of basic math questions and English analogy type questions. The phone interview went quite smooth we just discussed the resume.
The skill test consisted of 5 questions and we could choose the language of our choice or even use pseudo code. There was no time limit. I took 2hrs to complete the test. Most of the questions were based on string manipulation.

The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI) in Feb 2010
Interview
The interview starts with a phone 'consultation' which really just tells you about the job and if you would like to come to madison for an interview. no real questions here, just going over the resume and job.
Now comes the fun. They fly you out, put you up in a nice hotel and take you out to some awesome restaurant. basically they don't want you to fear the smaller-town, which it really is. the next day you have many tests, exams, 1 on 1 situations, a presentation, and finally a more standard interview. I think they want to stress you and get a feeling how you handle it...and perform. You must be outgoing, interesting, and smart. Your exact skills/degree dont matter, as long as you engage them and seem like a fit you have a shot. However, realize majority get no offer...if you do, it is hard to say no. Salary+benefits are top notch, they rival IB's and the like but living in wisconsin in so much cheaper. it will be hard but the place is rolling in cash...amazing right now.
