I was recruited. Lengthy application process. Straight-forward in-person interview. I think that they focus on recent grads with high GPAs who are scared of failing in their first "real" job, and will therefore put up with the dull work and long hours.

Question 1
List 5 things that you are not (e.g. unorganized, bad at listening, ...).
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Dec 2013
Interview
Interview process in general was very well-organized. Candidates fly in the night before their interview day and go to dinner with a current employee. The on-site interviews take the whole day, which was actually great because you get to meet with a number of people in different roles within Epic. Prior to the on-site interview, I had multiple online assessments (psychology questionnaire, a 3-hour technical exam, and two phone interviews) which frankly I found to be overkill.

Question 1
Case-interview style question where you're given a report about something, asked to clean up errors in the data presentation, and make recommendations about what to do next. The question involved monitoring patients with diabetes and taking survey-based statistics over a three-month timespan. It was a nice surprise to get a case question on the interview day; I was expecting more programming-heavy questions or maybe some more behavioral questions.
1:phone interview. Very basic, ask lots of questions about epic
2. Assessments, take very seriously, can be very difficult for non programmers, anyone who is not CSE could be challenged by this.
3. Interview on site. Entire day event, everything you do will have an impact on whether you get hired and whether they like you.
