I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Feb 2011
Interview
I had an online personality type profile then a phone interview a week later. After the phone interview I was offered to come up to Madison which they also paid for (which I thought was great). I went up Monday, had dinner with a group of four recruits (also paid for) then stayed in a nice hotel (paid for) and had breakfast next morning (included).
Drove over to Epic and had a day of interviews, assessment/intelligence tests, and a presentation (on anything I wanted). We also had lunch with a current employee which was laid back and enjoyable. Cafeteria was pretty awesome, food was great and (although covered) my entire meal would've been about $4.50, not bad at all.
The day began at 9 and ended around 3:30. I personally hate interviews because you're usually in a suit feeling uncomfortable and nervous but this wasn't as such. Suggested to wear casual clothes which I did and felt much more relaxed. I'd suggest you be yourself and enjoy the process (if you can aford two days off). Even if I didn't receive an offer (which I did about three days later) I would've enjoyed the two day paid adventure and interview experience.
I'd also recommend not putting too much stock into other reviews because it really depends on the position you are applying for at Epic. Remember there is a lot of travel associated with this position so if you aren't prepared to be gone Monday-thursday then don't apply (at least for this position). Keep in mind they interview a lot of people and invite even fewer to Madison. Then (from what I heard) they hire about 10% of the interviewees. Last year they received 150,000 resumes, brought in about 5,000 total to Madsion, and hired about 400. You do the math. But the people on here angry at the process/not being hired I don't understand. If you read this site for 30 minutes you pretty much know the interview process front to back. So go with your best foot forward and enjoy the experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview questions from HR were fairly standard, all I'd recommend is knowing your resume info and being confident in your answers. Strengths/weaknesses/time you had to resolve a conflict/etc
Glassdoor had very accurate description of the whole process. I did resume drop, did the online assessment, then got scheduled for a role introduction session where you listen to the person who currently has the job to describe what they do. Afterwards, there's the superday online where you will do a 10-min presentation on any topic you like and case study with peers, then behaviors. Overall a pretty smooth and enjoyable experience.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI)
Interview
I sent in my application and received an email from HR two days later asking if I agreed on thee salary. First process is you get a role intro, then an assessment test which is like 4 hours. They heavily rely on your test scores and are confirming that you’re a relatively normal and capable person before they offer you the job.

Interview
I was contacted on LinkedIn by a person from epic who encouraged me to apply for project manager role, sent me a link, I’m guessing I was scouted because on my profile I was #openforwork And I had some EHR software implementation experience in healthcare in my work history. (About 6 months worth). I filled out the project manager application online, I scheduled a time to watch the role introduction (just a zoom live seminar with some info on the role) and take the assessments. I did send the recruiter Just a question before my assessments asking for how much the role paid, like a salary range even, he replied with a non-answer saying that it is different for every candidate and once they have more information on my background, we can talk about salary.
That was kind of annoying, seeing as they were asking me to sign up for a 3 to 4 hour test for a role that I wasn’t even sure if it would be worth it, especially since moving to Wisconsin was part of the requirements. My last job was remote and I was mostly looking for remote roles.
I studied a bit, looked up some logic questions or questions from the assessment (didn’t find much but a few practice questions online that folks said were from epic hiring tests) I took the assessment and I think I did pretty accurately but I used most of the available time, so speed was not something I felt I really competed on. After a few days I got an email saying that they were not going to move forward with me as a candidate. Seemed like a cool job but I was relieved honestly. It seems like a role for folks fresh out of college where you give your life to the company and they work you to the bone. I’m later in my life and career I don’t really have the energy for all that.
