I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI) in Sept 2012
Interview
Submitted my resume through my university recruiting website. A few days later I was contacted about scheduling a phone interview, which lasted 30 minutes. It was pretty basic and unremarkable as far as the questions went. They take about a quarter of the time explaining what the job entails, half of the time asking you questions, and then a quarter is reserved for you to ask questions about the job. A few days later I was contacted about setting up a skills assessment at a proctor site (in my case, a local library). The exam was not timed and covered some math, logic and programming basics, but the confidentiality agreement means I can't really get into details. The next day I was asked to do a 60 minute writing examination based on a prompt that I won't disclose. 8 days later I was asked to do an on-site interview, of which I'm completing soon.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please elaborate how your past experiences make you right for this job.
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.
