The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Mar 2012
Interview
The first step in the interview process was a personality and logic test that I took online. Then I was offered a phone interview and then heard back and had received an on campus interview. The on campus interview lasted a full day and consisted of many different activities including a brief presentation and a few more skills tests.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Mar 2012
Interview
I received an email from a recruiter stating that my background would be a perfect fit for a Trainer position at Epic. I was instructed to apply online for the position. I completed the online application and the next day I received a link to complete the Rembrandt assessment. A couple days later I received an email stating that I needed to complete my online application with my SAT/ACT scores. I've been out of high school for 27 years and had no idea of my scores. I finally received an email to schedule a time for a phone interview for Implementation Consultant/Project Manager. It was scheduled a week out. The phone interview was pretty standard questions, but I felt the interviewer was trying to determine my age by asking questions relating to the year I graduated from college and if I went to college right out of high school. Apparently I did well on the phone interview because I received an invitation to take the skills test at a local college. The Pearson Vue exam consisted of logic/math questions and programming. The programming portion was difficult since I've never programmed. A week later I received an email stating that they went with another candidate. I was interested in the job initially, but honestly did not see myself growing at EPIC. They're looking for individuals right out of college and deseperate to get their feet wet in the industry.

It's the same process for everyone - online application, personality tests, phone interview (super duper easy), math/programming tests, then they fly you out to Madison. The accommodations are great! They fly you out for free, stick you up in a nice hotel, and take you out to dinner. It was kind of intimidating because the minute I got off the plane there was 10 other candidates standing there waiting for cabs. They fly A LOT of people out. I thought dinner was a tad awkward just because I consider myself more outgoing than my guide/other candidates, so I was talking to myself a lot of the time. Anyway, they really want to sell you on Madison - which they do. it's a lovely little town with a lot to offer. The next morning, they'll hook you up with a cab to Epic.
The day is long, but relatively easy. Interviews, case studies, presentations, lunch, tours, etc. Everyone is really nice and personable. If I hadn't done any research prior to going, I would've been really surprised. But I knew the number of people they fly out and was expecting to feel like a number, which I kind of did. Although everyone is really nice, you can tell they do this ALL DAY, EVERYDAY.. it's a very systematic way of hiring. They get hundreds of people in there a week, so unless you stand out you won't get hired. After the day, I decided I didn't want the job even if they offered it to me, which they didn't, so no harm done. Overall great experience and lots of interview practice!
