I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Feb 2016
Interview
The process began with an initial phone screen interview. This was relatively simple and straight forward. Then, I had to take an intelligence test. There was a mathematics portion and a coding section; the coding section was difficult. A few days after I completed the test, I was notified that I was being invited to an onsite interview.
The onsite interview consisted of a case study, a one-on-one interview, a presentation, and a HR interview. Nothing too hard. A week later I got a call saying that they were impressed and they extended an offer.
I ultimately declined because I did not feel like my experience onsite was good. People seemed to be inexperienced, and my interviewers were not friendly. I could not see myself thriving in such a work environment. However, the actual office is very cool and the subsidized lunches are a nice perk!
Glassdoor had very accurate description of the whole process. I did resume drop, did the online assessment, then got scheduled for a role introduction session where you listen to the person who currently has the job to describe what they do. Afterwards, there's the superday online where you will do a 10-min presentation on any topic you like and case study with peers, then behaviors. Overall a pretty smooth and enjoyable experience.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI)
Interview
I sent in my application and received an email from HR two days later asking if I agreed on thee salary. First process is you get a role intro, then an assessment test which is like 4 hours. They heavily rely on your test scores and are confirming that you’re a relatively normal and capable person before they offer you the job.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Aug 2022
Interview
I was contacted on LinkedIn by a person from epic who encouraged me to apply for project manager role, sent me a link, I’m guessing I was scouted because on my profile I was #openforwork And I had some EHR software implementation experience in healthcare in my work history. (About 6 months worth). I filled out the project manager application online, I scheduled a time to watch the role introduction (just a zoom live seminar with some info on the role) and take the assessments. I did send the recruiter Just a question before my assessments asking for how much the role paid, like a salary range even, he replied with a non-answer saying that it is different for every candidate and once they have more information on my background, we can talk about salary.
That was kind of annoying, seeing as they were asking me to sign up for a 3 to 4 hour test for a role that I wasn’t even sure if it would be worth it, especially since moving to Wisconsin was part of the requirements. My last job was remote and I was mostly looking for remote roles.
I studied a bit, looked up some logic questions or questions from the assessment (didn’t find much but a few practice questions online that folks said were from epic hiring tests) I took the assessment and I think I did pretty accurately but I used most of the available time, so speed was not something I felt I really competed on. After a few days I got an email saying that they were not going to move forward with me as a candidate. Seemed like a cool job but I was relieved honestly. It seems like a role for folks fresh out of college where you give your life to the company and they work you to the bone. I’m later in my life and career I don’t really have the energy for all that.
