I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Feb 2020
Interview
I started by applying online, and this was followed by an invitation to interview over the phone a few days later. The phone interview was with a person who is a current Project Manager, asking some general questions about your background and goals to see if they align with the culture and requirements of the job.
Around the same time was a Skills Assessment, where I had to do some logic tests; give yourself plenty of time in a quiet room to do this assessment (about 2 hours) so you can get set-up and have enough time to work.
The last step is the on-site interview, a full day of presentations, case studies, interviews, and a tour. They will fly you out and put you in a hotel where you'll taxi with other candidates to the Epic campus. You get the opportunity to meet and ask questions with several current employees, some of whom are project manages and others are not. During the case study, you'll be working with others to evaluate a situation and present your solutions to a current Project Manager. Near the end of the day you'll have a one-on-one interview with someone from HR to do a deeper dive into your resume, background, and interests in the position. About 2 business days after the interview I got a call with my offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you handle a conflict or disagreement with somebody on your team?
Interview was 3 hours long. It started with a general introduction of the company with 2 different people, then a 10 min case study on how you would approach a project followed by a presentation on a topic of your choice and finally the interview segment with the HR.
Incredibly long and tedious process; it honestly just felt like whoever could last the whole time got the job, because it felt that much of a test. The "interview" was information session after information session, and the actual interview wasn't even that hard. I think it is highly dependent on your test score.
