Very quick process relative to other places. Friendly all along and I felt like they wanted me rather than were testing me. There was a phone interview and then an online assessment. After that, I interviewed at Epic.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI) in Jan 2019
Interview
Filled out an online application and quickly was asked to schedule a phone interview and take 2 assessments (general programming and basic math skills) and a personality assessment. The phone interview was pretty standard interview questions: where do you see yourself in 5 years, are you willing to relocate to within 45 mins of Epic, etc. About a week later I was offered an onsite interview and asked to hear about a QA position as well, which because of my schedule was scheduled about 3 months out, but could have been much sooner if I had wanted. The onsite interview consisted of a company overview, position overviews for both TS and QA, going through a case study for both positions, free lunch in the cafeteria, a tour of part of the campus, and then an HR interview and a coding assessment. The position overviews were in groups of 3-6 applicants where we could ask questions about the job and learn what each position does. The case studies were a chance for you to learn more about what each position does and kind of put yourself in the position, and also for the person going through the case study with you to ask you more questions as a less formal interview, I feel like here I got the more fun interview questions. The HR interview was pretty standard. The coding assessment was pretty difficult if you don't code regularly but you can use pseudo-code, it seemed to be more about how you think through the problems as opposed to does your code actually work perfectly
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you could pick the themes for 3 new buildings on campus, what would they be, and why?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Jan 2018
Interview
The process was very efficient and quick. The first step was to apply online and send in your resume. Next, they will email you about a phone interview (came the next day for me).
The phone interview is pretty casual and is with someone that works in the role that you are applying for. Half of the interview was just them telling you about the role along with some easy conversational interview questions.
Next, there is an online proctored exam that contains 4 different parts (got invited to it 2 days after I got the phone interview email). One was a programming/logic test. You don't need programming knowledge b/c they give you the rules of the language. There was also a timed math portion that was simple math questions (think SAT math). There were also two other parts, nothing was too tough.
Then I received an email for a personality test about a day after I completed the online assessment. I thought this was a very strange part of the interview process, I wasn't particularly a fan of it. I can't imagine it is a big factor in the interview process.
I received an invitation for an onsite interview two business days after performing the personality test. The onsite was really well done. They fly you out to Madison and put you up in a really nice hotel downtown for the night. You can also go out to dinner with a current Epic worker and some other Epic candidates. Then you have the rest of the night to yourself. In the morning you drive out to Epic. The campus is wow! Bigger and nicer than I expected. You'll have a software demonstration, go on a tour, have a Q&A with a current person in your role (very helpful), get lunch with some workers and candidates, have a case study interview, and have an HR interview. I've heard that if you make it to the onsite, you have about a 90% chance of getting the job. I think this helped me as I was more confident and relaxed throughout the day. They tell you that they'll get back to you within 2 weeks. I had my interview on a Thursday and heard back the following Tuesday.
Overall, the process was very quick and I enjoyed the process. While it was involved, none of the parts of the process were very intense. Everything seemed pretty laid back like their company culture, and I was definitely drinking the Epic kool-aid after my onsite.
