Epic Technical Writer interview questions

I applied online through my campus's career website, and was contacted within the week for a phone interview and to complete a writing assessment. The phone interview basically seemed like it was just to weed out people who were really not a good fit with the company, and the writing assessment was pretty basic. I was then contacted within another week to do more online testing, which included a personality assessment and the skills assessment. I thought I would do horribly on the programming section since I don't have any experience in that field, but it ended up going well. Don't be intimidated because it's just testing your ability to think logically. Epic then flew me out for an interview. Before going to interview, I met with one of the career advisers at my school and her piece of advice was simple: make them like you. Epic is a fairly laid back company that has a lot of pride in their "work hard, play hard" attitude. If you don't relax during your interview, they probably won't think you will fit into their company. And you may not. It's a very specific atmosphere, which isn't a great fit for everyone. Many people I met with stressed the long hours and the burnout rate. The interview day itself consisted of two interviews and a meeting with a current technical writer (which was most likely an assessment, as well). Be prepared with lots of questions and show a high level of interest in the company. Since there is such a high burnout rate, I found that many people asked me questions that seemed to gauge how long I was interested in working at Epic.

I have just completed the interview process, so I will have to wait to find out whether I landed the position. Some background: ~3.3 GPA for undergrad and 3.9 for my Master's degree, both of which were in the biological sciences. I submitted the application in November, and received a notification from Epic's HR department in less than a week. This email requested that I schedule an online skills assessment and take a Rembrandt personality test. I took the skills assessment two days after receiving the email; the test was a proctored online exam consisting of four parts (2-minute speed solving/IQ section, verbal, math, and programming aptitude). They do not expect you to study for this; it's not a cakewalk, but if you do well on standardized tests you won't have to worry too much. The Rembrandt profile included sets of 4 personality statements interspersed with verbal/logic questions. I followed up with my HR representative shortly after completing the skills assessment, and in less than a week I was invited to do a phone interview. The interviewer asked some basic questions to verify information on my application (grades, test scores, experience) and asked some questions about projects I had worked on. I was also able to ask her some questions about the position. Again, I followed up with HR and about two weeks later I was invited for the on-site interview. Epic flew me out to Madison and covered my hotel and transportation costs. I elected to have dinner with an Epic employee, and took the opportunity to ask many questions about the company and culture. The interview day itself was fairly intense, with company overviews, a software demonstration, a position overview with a technical writer (possibly also serving as an assessment of my personality), a case study/interview, a guided tour, an HR interview, and a two-hour writing assessment. Despite the length, the interview day flew by and was actually pretty enjoyable. The campus is very laid-back and aesthetically amazing, and the employees are very helpful. I will hear from them in approximately two weeks.
