I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Apr 2020
Interview
The initial phone interview was great-good balance of casual conversation and information given. The follow up skills assessment was difficult and strange in format for a "non-technical" project management position in my opinion. During my phone interview, the interviewer stressed that no prior coding or computer software knowledge was needed for this position. The skills test included a lot of complex coding-like components that did not seem reflective of the position that was described to me. I also didn't love the fact that I was being required to take a long and heavily proctored exam for a company that I didn't even have an on-site interview with. That is a heavy time commitment for a job/company you don't know much about. Not a fan of the whole process. Be transparent about the position and it's requirements.
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.
