The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Dec 2011
Interview
The phone interview was very short. The onsite interview is a much different story
Expect to be in Wisconsin for a day or two. My interview lasted the entire day, but some people I spoke had to come back the day after. The all day interview consists of
- At least two one and one interviews
- Giving a presentation to employees
- Tours / product overviews
- A reading / math test (which is mostly brain teasers)
- A programming / logic test
- Group / case studies
It's an extremely long and drawn out process, but seems like a cool place and campus. However, after talking to different people at the company, it seems like the satisfaction with the company depends entirely on the position so be sure to read specific reviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case study interviews on how to handle certain situations
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Mar 2012
Interview
I found the job through my University's career site. About a day after applying I received a link for the Rembrandt test. A week after taking that I received an email invitation for a phone interview. My phone interview was with a Project Manager. I went over my resume and a "tell me about yourself" question. I was asked my ACT score and GPA. Asked if I went to my University all 4 years or academic transfer. My interviewer talked A LOT in my phone interview. He didn't seem super interested in asking me anything and liked to talk, but that was OK with me. About a week after my phone interview I was emailed instructions on finding a PearsonVUE testing center near me. For me it was the community college. I took two tests that were timed--one math and one programming. A week after my tests, I was invited to an on-site interview which I declined.
The interview processes involves a lot of testing and not a lot of personal contact. My wait time was a week between each step.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Feb 2012
Interview
Got contacted by a Recruiter to send them my resume via my school's Career Center. After a few days I got another email to schedule a phone interview. It was very nonchalant, mostly verifying what you have on your resume. Soon thereafter I was asked to schedule a test, one skills and one coding. Both tests are nothing to sweat over. Then I was flown out to Madison. I spent the day there touring the company, having group interviews and one on one interviews, and for PM there was a presentation. The presentation was very low key and it can be any style you like (mine was conversational). Best of luck!
