I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Mar 2016
Interview
Applied in December, heard back in early January. Started with an online test, then a phone interview, then I was offered an on site interview. The on site interview turned me off from the company immediately. I wasn't impressed with the cult-like culture of the company. I wanted to know more about the services they were selling, why they were different, how they worked with their clients. Instead I only heard about fancy buildings and sabbaticals for people that stayed with the company for 5 years. Cools buildings are awesome, but what I really heard was a high turnover rate and a job were I would be overworked. I wasn't impressed by the individuals I met during my interview, none of them seemed extremely motivated, none of them had an impressive resume or background. You can get this job but you have to drink the cool aide while in your interview. They took 3 weeks to get back to me, extremely unprofessional when they called to say they moved on with other candidates.

Interview
I applied online and received an email the following week from an HR rep to schedule a phone interview. Phone interview scheduled for following week. A current Program Manager (PM) calls and conducts phone interview. PM thoroughly discusses job description and requirements for position. She also reviews my resume with me while asking specific questions for clarification when needed. She asked about specific job duties in my current and past jobs as well as my presentation and programming experience. I had roughly a dozen questions prepared to ask during my interview, of which the PM amicably answered. The interview lasted approximately 1hr and 15mins. Two weeks later I called EPIC HR to inquire about my application progression since I had not heard anything from them since the phone interview. The next day HR emailed and stated that I have advanced to the next step in the application process which is the assessment test. The assessment tests are comparable to the GREs with a math and verbal section. Although, EPIC states one does not need to study for these assessment tests, if one has not taking standardized tests in awhile it is a good idea to refresh one's test taking skills by going online and taking practice GRE tests before the assessment tests. The assessment test has four parts - verbal, math, programming, speed. The programming is basic and each grouping of questions in this section is preceded by a short concise education piece on the topic tested in this grouping. Math consisted of analytical word problems. Verbal consisted of reading comprehension, word relations, grammar and sentence completion. The speed section gives you a series of simple questions with a time limit of 2mins to see how many one can accurately complete in two minutes. I was also required to complete a Rembrandt profile/personality test for this second step in the application process. I am currently still awaiting to hear back from EPIC to see if I proceed to the next step which is the in-person interview in Wisconsin. I will return to inform the Glassdoor community of my experience with this next step in the process if I advance.
