Interviewed Oct 2011 in Madison, WI (took 3 weeks)
I gave my resume to a recruiter at a campus career fair, and they responded via email about a week later asking me to complete an online test. The test was a few IQ-type questions with a few behavioral questions as well and took about 20 mins to complete.
After about another week, Epic asked me to do a phone interview. The phone interview lasted for 30 minutes and they asked me about my projects and academics. They also talked about their company and what the responsibilities of the job would be.
Finally, they asked me to do an exam that takes 2-3 hours to complete. This exam was proctored by a local business but it was created by Epic. It had a 2 minute 10-question component, a multiple choice problem component (String-based questions), and a programming component. Unfortunately I must have not performed up to par, since they informed me that they decided to "move forward with other candidates."

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 months)
Submitting an application required a lot of educational stats: GPA, SAT/ACT scores, and the like. It's definitely a process geared toward entry-level candidates (though there is still room for experienced hires, and the offer took my experience into account when it came). The phone screening was quick, easy, and straightforward -- seemed to be mostly just a surface check to screen for obvious unsuitability.
On-site interviews: I was expected to drive myself, which took about five hours. Some people get flown in, I'm sure, but I guess I was within the get-here-on-your-own radius. They put me up in a hotel in downtown Madison, very near State Street -- surely aimed at showing off the city in its liveliest and most metropolitan light. It felt like a hefty drive the next morning to get from there to the campus. I had to give myself plenty of time to make sure I got through the city's morning traffic and a bunch of miles.
The day featured a lot of variety. The recruiters spent as much time selling me on Epic as they did evaluating me. We got some all-around pleasant propaganda for the company and the city, plus a quick tour of part of the campus.
But I certainly had work to do. The lengthiest and most challenging element was the battery of written exams, which included a pair of programming skills tests. I was told they'd be graded on accuracy and speed of completion. (The sort of person who enjoys pencil-and-paper puzzles will do very well in this process.)
I found myself in several small-group settings as well, given opportunities to learn about the software, to talk to a developer and ask questions about the job, and to eat lunch with an Epic employee in more of a casual social setting. I later learned that even my small-group lunch was evaluated -- our host was expected to send written comments on each of us back to HR. I suppose it was meant to screen friendliness or personality; I can't imagine what else you could judge from lunch.
I also spent an hour in a 1-on-1 setting with another developer. Probably the most stressful setting of the day, but it wasn't so bad. My interviewer led by lobbing programming problems at me to see how I'd do, and from there we shifted into discussion of specific technical project experience. I'd been told beforehand to come prepared to discuss a development project of interest from my past. The instructions mentioned preparing a visual aid ahead of time, but I'm sure I could have done without it. It was a typical interview; candidates will do well by staying relaxed, demonstrating knowledge and passion, and developing a comfortable rapport with the interviewer.
I'm proud to say I did not not seek the test questions online beforehand, which is of course cheating. But I did study before the on-site day, brushing up on core CS concepts like sorting, recursion, algorithms, vocabulary. I'm sure it helped on the tests and in the 1-on-1 interview. But even if all it does is help to maintain confidence, it's worth the time.
After all that, it's a waiting game. They've just collected a ton of information on a ton of people, and it takes time to process it all. I finally got a call about two weeks after my on-site visit -- it feels interminable while you're waiting, but there's nothing you can do. Once Epic's run all its results through whatever formula they've got, if they like what they see, they'll start contacting references, and then it's not long before Epic calls with their decision. In my case, they called as soon as they got off the phone with my reference.
To anyone about to submit themselves to this process, it's a great place to work. Good luck!

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Madison, WI (took a day)
I applied online and two weeks later, HR contacted me to schedule an phone interview. An EPIC employee called me. We go though my resume. He is very nice. I asked several questions about the job, the company and the industry. The interview took 44 minutes total. He will send the the interview report to HR and I should be able to get result two weeks later. The next step is an remote accessment. Then if the candidate pass the accessment, next step is an on campus interview.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Madison, WI (took a day)
The first round was an HR round. They mainly talk about the company and the position you'll interview for. The next day after the HR round they called up to fix up a tech round onsite. The onsite interview mainly consists of a rapid fire section which lasts for just 2 mins. Then you'll be given a problem set on basic maths and basic programming.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 2 months)
I applied online. I had to take a personality test and a phone interview. These two are really easy, dont worry about it. Then had a skills assessment test at a local testing center. After around a month, I went to the onsite interview. I had to take an Iq / logic test , a math test and a one on one interview. They replied that I got the job after 2 weeks.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Madison, WI (took 4+ weeks)
Got call through University career fair. Had an initial phone interview, 30 mins, just formality and a few basic questions like what languages I know, if I'm interested in programming and health care domain etc....I dont think they reject anyone here.
The next was a written programming test in an exam center within my university. I used C# to answer all questions. Most of the questions come from what is in careercup.com.
2 weeks later I was called on-site. Everything perfectly arranged. A 5 minute IQ test (10 questions), 1 general math test (14 questions), 1 programming related test (20 MC questions). No time limit, but considered for evaluation. 2 interviews. One for S/W Developer and 1 for interface analyst. S/W developer interview (1:1) required me to explain a project that I had done. Interface analyst interview was not technical either. 30 mins each. 1 HR interview, very relaxing. Given offer after 1 week.

Reason for Declining
The salary was not what I expected. Too much hassle for a very average salary.
