I applied online. I interviewed at Epic in Dec 2012
Interview
Started out with a phone interview where I was asked to answer basic questions about my resume, best and worst experiences, etc. Really simple and straightforward. Then I was asked to take a proctored assessment at the local Sylvan Learning center. It seemed easy enough but I wasn't invited to Madison for an on-site interview.

Question 1
Nothing was particularly difficult. I think I did well during the interview but couldn't pass the assessment.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Nov 2012
Interview
Initially began the process online, but did not complete my application for the "Technical Writer" position. Received an e-mail from an HR rep encouraging me to complete my application. Did so, and received a prompt offer for a phone interview.
Phone interview was standard; a supervisor from the technical writing department seemed more interested in talking about the company than asking any real trick questions. It was mostly an overview of your resume and experiences.
Soon after, an offer comes to fly you out to Wisconsin, and asks you for your most convenient times. They pay for all travel arrangements, and you can bill them for all expenses. They inform me that in addition to the "Technical Writer" position I applied for, they were considering me for the "Program Manager" role.
You fly out to Wisconsin, they arrange for you to have dinner with a current Epic employee, who is not formally evaluating you so you can be comfortable with. The next day, begins a series of tours and interviews. You give a presentation on a topic of your choice, an interview with the HR rep and another with a member of the department you're interested in. You also take a series of quantative and writing tests on a computer.
Overall, you get the impression that they fly in thousands of candidates at all times of the year; that their HR reps/employees are rather bored with the whole process; and that they have enough money to fly people in that 1). aren't the most qualified or 2). don't have the strongest interest in.
Less than a week after leaving Madison, I get a voicemail saying I didn't get the job. Overall, a valuable experience, ate shrimp and steak on the company dime, and really no regrets applying.

Question 1
- If you as a supervisor made a decision, and other members of your team opposed your decision, but you were certain that you were right, what would you do?
- If you were a facing a supervisor in the same situation, but you were certain that you were right, what would you do?
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Epic in Nov 2012
Interview
I am a seasoned professional and submitted my resume through the company's official website on the 4th and received an email the same day or a couple days later to complete the Rembrant Profile. I completed it the same day and received an email saying the HR team would be in touch. The next day, I received an email to schedule an interview. I scheduled the interview which was set for the next week. I interviewed with them and figured during the interview process that I did not want to work for the company. It seemed as if I was interviewing with an intern for an internship.

Question 1
The interview was pretty much behavioral and the lady asked about my rate. My rate at my previous companies was higher than the amount they were offering.
