I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI) in May 2014
Interview
Contacted by college recruiter, told to apply online. After applying online, was emailed about scheduling an interview within a day or two. A short phone interview, then the 3-4 hour long online test (refer to others description for how the software works). Most of the time was spent during the programming portion which had 4 different prompts for me. The other sections were much shorter (one was 2 minutes timed for quick thinking). Like others said, the programming section does not test your in depth knowledge on any one language in particular, but does require good programming skills in whatever language you prefer to write with. As usual, no way to compile and test your code. After the conclusion of the 2 step process for the interview (phone interview / online skills test), the process took over 2 weeks to hear back. No on-site interview for me, so this is where my experience ends. On a final note: During phone interview, they make sure you are willing to move to the Madison, WI area - so if you are not from the area and are not interested in moving there, you might not want to waste yours and their time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing was overly difficult compared to previous interviews I have had. It was just time consuming.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic
Interview
First a phone interview about your experience and a technical question( no coding involved). Then follows a 4-session skill assessment including math, intelligence, language studying and coding. Finally comes a on-site interview
the phone interview goes through the resume and let you talk about one of your project, ask a open minded question, and ask some questions such as why do you choose epic
the online test takes about 3 hours. the programming part contains 4 questions 1. find the "mountain" in the matrix (a mountain is a value which is bigger than its 8 surrounding values) 2. find the valid pass word from a long string (there are a lot of rules, but once you understand, it is not hard) 3. generate password with n numbers(the password should be well-ordered "123" -> 1<2<3 "564" is not because 6>4) 4. change word, each time switch adjacent characters "GUM"->"MUG"
