First step was a phone interview. They guy I talked to was really great and from there I was really excited about the role! Then I had to take an online proctored exam it was tough a lot of coding and GRE type questions there was about 4 or 5 hours of time but I took mine in about an hour and a half. At that point I did not think I was going to get a call back because I was really unsure of everything I put, but I think for the Project Manager role they don’t grade it too harshly. I wasn’t really sure how most of the exam had anything to do with the role. Then for the final interview it was an online session a few hours long first with an intro to the software, then a meeting with someone in the role you’re applying for, then you do a case study about an issue related to the role, after that you have to present a 10 minute presentation (you are allowed a visual but NO POWERPOINT) where they ask you questions, lastly you will meet one on one with your recruiter. I was a bit nervous afterwards because that interview seemed a bit cold and like they were just trying to cover all the bases for the position not actually get to know me as a person. They got back to me very quickly and offered the position to me I was very torn but ultimately did not take it because of the work life balance (2 weeks vacation??) and fight or flight tactics (you either succeed or you don’t) If I’m going to move all the way to Wisconsin I need to be sure I am going to be valued at the company.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Epic in Mar 2021
Interview
My experience was the typical 1. phone interview where you are asked 3 questions and mainly take this time to hear more about the company, role, and the interviewer will field questions. 2. Exam- the hardest part; I didn't prepare for this portion. Just don't get caught off guard by the 2 minute portion: I answered like 3 or 4 out of the 10 questions and underperformed (still got the job!); the CS part is hard yes, but you can go back and refer to previous sections so use this to your advantage and I took my time while still being mindful not to spend too long on the section... just don't rush it! 3. In person: most stressful but also fun part was the 10 minute presentation- I spent a week preparing for it but the effort really paid off for me. Three people will sit in on your speech and they will ask questions! The case study was odd in that we were tasked with creating a presentation in a very very short amount of time- keep track of the case's details. HR interview was super chill, don't even worry about it. Overall, if you show that you're a normal person capable of keeping a conversation and maintaining a friendly demeanor I think the job is as good as yours if you make it to the in-person.
