The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in May 2011
Interview
I applied online, received an e-mail asking me to pick a time for a webcam interview. I did the webcam interview and two days later was asked to fly to Madison to interview in person. Everything was paid for and was really nice. Top quality and great service-even my flights were early or on time! I was put in the concourse hotel, which i absolutely loved, and did a walking tour that evening followed by dinner. This was with a group of 3 other interviewees and a current Epic employee. The whole evening was very pleasant and enjoyable. The employee treated us like we already had a job offer and his job was to help us get comfortable in the city. Quite nice. The next day I took a cab ride in the morning with one other interviewee and arrived at Epic shortly before the whole process started. I did a tour of the campus with 6-10 other interviewees first, followed by a software demonstration, a case study interview, lunch (great cafeteria), written tests, the 10 min. presentation, and lastly the final interview. The entire thing was on schedule with no room to spare-obviously they've gotten good at perfecting it. As it's already been mentioned there was probably a total of 50 people interviewing that day and maybe more. They do interview every day and I'd guesstimate 1500-2000 a month. In spite of the quick pace and slightly over-whelming schedule, I'd say that it's very well done. Everyone is extremely friendly and treat you like you've already been hired. The interviews don't feel like interviews. It's very informal. I was actually disappointed with the lack of questions in the real interview. It lasted 10 min. at most and didn't have more than 1/2 dozen questions. I really don't think that they could gauge someone's personality from that. That's really my only complaint. It's only been 3 working days, so I don't know if I'll be hired or not, but I think that regardless the experience was worth it. You'll meet a lot of interesting people and get some nice perks too. My advice: dress casual (can't say it enough), prep yourself to be interrupted multiple times during the presentation as it seems to be some sort of test on how well you can pick it back up, don't worry about the written tests as they're pretty short and not too extreme, be cheerful and relaxed. You'll do fine! ;)
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What's one question I haven't asked you but should, and what's the answer to it?
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 through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Aug 2022
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.

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.
