I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic
Interview
The interview process was fairly quick moving. I heard back from my initial application within a week. From there I was asked to have a phone interview and take an online exam. Little information was provided about the exam and it was administered by a third party.
Referred by a current employee and was contacted 2 weeks later to send in a resume. I was offered a phone interview about 2 days later. They had me take a series of tests assessing personality, logic, basic programming functions, and mental math. The phone interview took about 40 minutes and was quite relaxed. The assessments took about 2 hours in total to complete. I was contacted a few days later with an invitation for an onsite interview. The day of the interview, they gave an overview of the company and a demo of the software. There was a small group interview, a case study, two one-on-one interviews, a tour of the beautiful campus, lunch with a staff member, a 10 minute presentation on anything you want, and finally an HR interview. In total, the interview lasted about 5-6 hours.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Jun 2016
Interview
I was notified of open positions via recruiter email. The process was relatively quick: the day after I applied I started corresponding with an HR representative and was invited to begin the next step of the application process, a phone interview. The phone call only lasted about 15 minutes as they're only looking for a few answers to questions (how did you hear about epic and why did you apply? Are you comfortable with a lot of traveling?) you can ask them some of your own questions as they quickly brief you on the project manager position.
Depending on how you schedule things you'll have some online, proctorred assessments. One asks you to answer questions about a pseudo computer code, but you can take as long as you need and it boils down to basic logic. Plus you can review previous questions as the build upon each other with 20 total. This section is evaluated on speed and accuracy, so just work at a comfortable pace. Next is a hogepoge of short math questions, graphical interpretations and reading comprehension questions. This portion is timed, but you get over an hour (an hour and a half?) to complete it, so it shouldn't be much of a challenge. You'll also have to complete a personality survey which takes about 30-45 minutes.
I had my phone interview one week after I applied on a Thursday, took the assessments the next day on Friday, and was invited for an on site interview the following Monday. Epic will fly you out to Madison, WI, and cover all of the costs and planning of travel and lodging, and will even reimburse any meal purchases save for alcohol.
I am at this final stage and was asked to prepare a 10-minute presentation for a small group of Epic staff. The guidelines give you the freedom to present on anything, but they encourage you to pick something you are knowledgeable about and something that isn't too difficult to digest.
