I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Jun 2023
Interview
there was a half-hour-ish case study portion where I was presented a fact sheet about a bunch of problems and I had to say how I’d prioritize them, how I’d tackle them, and some other specific questions. they’ll give you like 10 minutes to read the sheet and collect your thoughts. my understanding is that sometimes you do this with multiple people? but for me it was just me and an interviewer then I had the presentation and a short interview with the recruiter. the one question I’d say stood out is “what are 5 things you’re not?” not that crazy of a question but might be worth thinking about.
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.
