I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Jun 2012
Interview
After submitting a standard online application, I was asked to do an hour long assessment at a testing center (I assume if you are from Wisconsin, you go to Epic headquarter and take the assessment there). I passed it and after an easy phone interview which consisted of my future interest, I was flown to Madison, Wisconsin where I had a dinner with an employee the night before and had a super day that consisted of presentations of what Epic does, 2 interviews with employees, a presentation on anything that interests you, and a final closing wrap-up interview with recruiter. It was really awkward with recruiter for some reason, and I did not respond well to some questions so I knew I did not get an offer that day. Otherwise, it's a great firm to start your career, but I have heard that turnover is insanely high. I have not seen a single employee over 30 years old.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI) in Sep 2012
Interview
Submitted my resume through my university recruiting website. A few days later I was contacted about scheduling a phone interview, which lasted 30 minutes. It was pretty basic and unremarkable as far as the questions went. They take about a quarter of the time explaining what the job entails, half of the time asking you questions, and then a quarter is reserved for you to ask questions about the job. A few days later I was contacted about setting up a skills assessment at a proctor site (in my case, a local library). The exam was not timed and covered some math, logic and programming basics, but the confidentiality agreement means I can't really get into details. The next day I was asked to do a 60 minute writing examination based on a prompt that I won't disclose. 8 days later I was asked to do an on-site interview, of which I'm completing soon.
