The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Mar 2012
Interview
The phone interview was very easy. They just asked about things on my resume and wanted to make sure I had done research about the company. Later that week they offered to fly me out to Madison to interview in person. I went out to eat with a staff member of the company as well as other people interviewing for various positions. It was fun and gave good insight. They payed for everything. The next day we went on a tour of the building and got our schedule for the interviews. There was a case interview where they had you read a scenario and make observations and give examples on how you would improve said situation. There was also an information session where someone in the position you were applying for talked more about the job. I also had to do a presentation. It wasn't nerve racking at all the people are genuinely interested in what you have to say. Then there was a 1 on 1 interview with the HR person assigned to you. Overall it was pretty chill but a long day. I had realized during the information session with a person from the position that the job wasn't something I would enjoy, so I'm sure that came across when interviewing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They looked through my references and asked what a particular person would say my biggest weakness is, so that was a little different than the normal just tell me your strenghts and weaknesses question.
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.
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.
