Epic Managing Consultant Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Epic does fantastic work at getting the right people in the door and through the process. They also make a point of letting you know your status (accepted, rejected, etc), which, for rejections, is unusual for most employers. This makes a huge difference, and is one indicator of why they're such a great company. If you're coming form college, look for career fairs or job-board postings, and contact any alums that work there. If you're post-graduation, go to their website and apply online. If your GPA is greater than a 3.5 and you've done impressive work related to the applied-for role, then you're likely to get a phone screen. the Phone screen makes sure both parties understand what the job entails, and that there's nothing obvious that disqualifies a candidate. If that goes well, you'll take some tests. These are super-important, as Epic uses metrics to systematically (and thus unbiasedly) critique your application. If you aren't used to logic-based tests, brush up on those skills...but other than that, there's no way to study for them. If you get an in-person interview, dress comfortably (no suits required) and presentably, and be yourself. If you're trying to play a role, you'll come off awkward -- be your awesome self, and hopefully it'll be a good fit.

Epic usually responds to all candidates, through all stages, within 1-2wks of the last milestone.

Negotiation Details – There's very little negotiation. But that's fine, as once you get in the door, there's lots of opportunities for increasing your salary and responsibilities by doing great work.

Interview Details – Epic has a detailed and long interview process. Expect it to take some time. You take an online personality test, have a screening phone interview, and then take some written assessments. If you pass each of those steps, you are invited to interview at their campus. They show you the company and the onsite interviews consist of a couple one-on-one interviews and an oral presentation.

Interview Details – Started with a phone interview which was very simple and straightforward. Then was invited to an in person interview in Madison. Started with a dinner and tour of Madison with an employee followed by a full day of interviews. Included a presentation, many 1-1 interviews, and a part where I had to read through a scenario with one other candidate and we had to take turns giving a response to questions. Also had to do some computer work and tests.

Interview Details – First they conduct an over the phone interview which is rather 'lax, mainly they just want to introduce themselves and the company. After that they will contact you for a skills assessment which has multiple parts, including some programming. If they are still interested they will send you out to Madison. I didn't make it past the skills assessment, they contacted me a few weeks after I took it to let me know that I didn't get to the next phase.

Interview Details – An HR rep got my resume from Teach For America after I was rejected and specifically asked me to apply for the Project Manager position on their website. After submitting a resume and cover letter, I was told to complete a Rembrandt Profile online; the profile is standard personality testing and took maybe 20 minutes.

I was contacted a few days later to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview lasted approximately 30 minutes and covered questions about my resume, experiences, and a few classic HR questions. I was notified a couple days later that I was invited to an in-person interview day at Epic, and coordinated a trip there ~ 2 weeks after my phone interview.

The in-person, final interview takes place at Epic and is a lengthy affair. Multiple 1:1 interviews, a series of computerized tests, a 10 minute presentation, and a tour/lunch on campus. It was a well-oiled machine and definitely left a positive impression of the company in my head. By the end of the day, I was exhausted but enthralled, and it was inspiriing to see the company managed to make such a controlled and sterile idea into something enjoyable.

The day ended with a brief interview and some job-related questions (can you travel? expected salary, etc) and I was told my notification would take up to two weeks. It took a couple business days from that date to recieve a call and email telling me that I got the job.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation, though the pay seems to vary based on hard or soft skills (most likely education, aptitude in their testing, and other similar vectors).

Interview Details – Everything went fairly smoothly. First round on the phone, second round was flown out to campus, given a tour. Four-part interview- test, presentation, case (what would you do in a day?) and a final personality interview. They even showed us all around the Madison area and took us out for dinner.

Interview Details – Initial phone interview, followed by test assessment and then a whole day on site. If you are applying for this job, there will be a 10 minute presentation as long as 2 additional interviews on top of that. Everyone on site will provide feedback on you.

Interview Details – I met an HR representative at my college career fair who took my resume and asked me a few questions. I then applied online and received an email two days later to set up a phone interview. The phone interview was pretty simple and easy going, asked me questions about my resume and experience. They said they would get back to me, and they did about a week later to sign me up for a proctored skills test. I took the test and then a week later received an email that they would be moving forward with other candidates.

Interview Details – I applied online through a school job posting. I heard a week later about a phone interview. He asked some typical questions (elevator pitch stuff, why I am interested in the company, etc.). A few days later I received an email saying they would pursue other candidates.
