I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Oct 2019
Interview
I started out with a phone interview with one of their current developers, who asked some standard HR questions as well as wanting to know about a project I had worked on in the past--we spent about half of the 30 minute call talking about the project. I was then given a skills assessment that had three distinct sections:
1. ACT-style section with 2 minutes to answer as many simple questions as you can
2. Standard coding section where you're given a few problems to solve. Note that Computer Science majors are asked to use a limited subset of the available languages, including C/C++, Java, JavaScript, but missing languages like Python.
3. A series of about twenty multiple-choice questions based on provided information about a made-up language to test your ability to synthesise new information.
I was offered an on-site interview in Madison, WI about a week after submitting the skills assessment. The on-site consisted of one case study, one semi-technical/semi-HR interview where we again talked about a project I had worked on in the past, and another HR wrap-up with my recruiter. The experience in general was pleasant, everyone is very friendly and you also have a chance to walk around the campus and grab lunch along with some other interviewees as well as another current developer.
A couple things to note about the on-site: guys, don't wear a suit or a jacket--you will stand out and not in a good way. Business casual is preferred, slacks and a dress shirt are fine. Also, keep in mind that even if you're not in an official interview, the person with whom you are interacting is likely giving feedback on you, including the dinner with an Epic employee on the night before the interview. It's nothing to necessarily worry about, but just be aware.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about an algorithm that you used on your project. What made you choose that algorithm? How did you implement it?

Interview
The first stage int the interview process was a 30-minute phone screen where a software developer at the company talks with you about a project you've listed on your resume and what it's like to work at Epic.
The second stage was an online exam that consisted of three parts. There is a 2-minute math test (simple word problems), a 20-question multiple choice test (where you learn a new programming language on the fly and answer questions about it), and a 4-question programming test. The programming section of the test was a standard set of leetcode-style questions. Only the math test has a time limit, although one of the evaluation metrics for the whole exam is speed. The exam will take about 2-4 hours.
The third stage in the interview was a site visit in Verona, WI. The interview day consists of a case study (a problem solving session with a developer), a short project presentation (where you give a 20 minute presentation to a developer about a coding project you've worked on), and a short behavioral interview. Additionally, you'll receive a tour of the campus, a product demo, and a meeting with a software developer to discuss the Epic development process. All of the staff is very open and friendly, and the experience was wonderful!

Interview
Recruited through University career fair. 30 minute behavioral phone interview and then a technical coding interview a few days later. Coding questions were in a Java, Python, C#, C, or C++. Your choice.
