I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Epic in Apr 2010
Interview
I was surprised that the process only consisted of a few house cleaning questions but it makes sense since Epic is such a big company they have hundreds of kids interviewing daily. I applied online through our school's website and then within 2 or 3 weeks was asked to sign up and have the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
if you were in a group where your the leader and the 3 other members wanted to do something else what would you do?
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Feb 2010
Interview
First a campus interview, then a phone interview, then they flew me in for a day to Madison. Had to give a presentation to a group, then take IQ and skills test, then some one on one interviews and a case study. Although I thought I was interviewing for a sales type of position, they gave me a programming test that I knew absolutely nothing about. The presentation, case study, and other tests went great but it went south when I interviewed with the HR woman and took the programming test. Although the company was impressive (the company campus is amazing), the company was way too informal for my liking and the position required WAY too much traveling. If you are a techie, you will probably love it but those I spoke to on the marketing side did not.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Epic in Jan 2010
Interview
Phone interview - easy
Personality/Skills tests - easy.
Got offer to fly to Madison, WI.
Flew there for 2 days, 1 night
On the day I was there, an employee took us to dinner.
Then the next day about 50+ prospectives were herded to HQ for 2-3 interviews, 1 case study (just behavioral, no math), 1 presentation, info sessions. I did badly on the 10-min presentation I think, which had 3 people watching. One guy just smirked at me the whole time. Then the HR person took me to her office to ask a series of trick/behavior questions.
Followed up promptly in 2 weeks and told me I was rejected :\
Pros: followed up fast, nice campus, good food
Cons: taxi driver said Epic brings in 50+ people to interview A DAY 5 days/wk (seems more like herding cattle), rather tedious interview process....:P...a lot of work to miss 3 days of class, presentation prep....
