The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Epic in Mar 2009
Interview
The process began with an online personality test and a 2.5 hr. skills test. I went in for 2 interviews, equaling about 5 hours total. This process consisted of meeting with several different people at all levels of the organization for about half an hour each. The interviewers generally put me at ease. In all, I got a very favorable impression of the organization; it seems very employee-oriented (and client-oriented). The underlying theme seems to be that the employees are treated well and encouraged to be creative, and in turn they excel and work hard for their company. The atmosphere is also very creative, with themed rooms, painted walls, and outdoor gardens.

Interview
Interviewed Aug 2009 in Madison, WI (took a day)
Person that called me was not in HR, so they couldn't answer any HR questions....they were also not in the Technical Services department, so they couldn't answer any specific questions about the job.
On the interviewers end, he asked me only 3 questions. 2 of them asking if I see the Epic job as a stepping stone, or if I see staying at Epic longer term. Later asked if I see being at Epic in 5 years. The other question was a basic, what do you find interesting about the position.
So overall, it was a waste of time for us both really. I didn't really learn much more than what the job description said, and he asked me 2 1/2 questions that couldn't have told him much.
He indicated the in a few weeks I'd be contacted by the HR dept to bring me in for testing/interviews if we move on in the process.
But what a waste of 30mins.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Aug 2009
