Interviewed Jan 2012 in Verona, WI (took 1 week)
They found me through my university's career center. I received an email about the position and started the application process. After taking a short (30 mins +/-) personality test, I was informed a few days later that I was qualified for the next step - a phone interview. Still in process, but they make you very comfortable.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Madison, WI (took 2 months)
The hiring process was quite drawn out and different from any other company I have experienced. The culture was great and their campus is quite impressive.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Not enough exit options. If I chose to work there for 5 years or more, I'd still have the same position. Basically not enough experience to put on my resume
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Presentation, an IQ/Intelligence Test and a Skills Test.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Madison, WI (took 4+ weeks)
I was contacted for a phone interview about a week or two after I submitted my application online. We scheduled a phone interview which was fairly casual and went well. The next day, I was sent an invitation to interview in Madison. The company took care of everything--the airfare, hotel, taxi, etc. I went out to dinner the night before with an Epic employee who answered questions and made the group of us feel very comfortable. The next day was jam-packed with information sessions, interviews, a presentation, and lunch with a staff member. Every person I encountered was incredibly intelligent, gracious, and friendly. I felt great about the day. I waited for about a week before I was called with an offer.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Negotiation wasn't necessary because they gave me an excellent offer. They did, however, ask which other offers I had and how much other companies had offered me during my interview--they seemed like they would do whatever they could to beat my other offer.

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test and a Personality Test.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Madison, WI (took 3 months)
The first phone interview was just standard and quite easy. A software developer from the company asked me general questions regarding to my resume.
Then the technical assessment was like what the others described. Personally I didnot think it was really a hard one.
Now I'm waiting for my onsite call.

I read over every single post prior to interviewing with Epic and the reviews are spot on! Let me start by saying the interviewing process is intense but well worth it even if you are not extended an offer. Once you have gone through their process you are prepared to take on any interview.
Tips and advice:
1. Don't stress about the presentation! You are in a room with three very friendly and engaging people. Don't try and dazzle them with your software or management knowledge and experience but rather present to them on something you enjoy and are extremely knowledeable. There were people presenting on zombies who got an offer so, as I said, don't fret about the topic just focus on your presentation skills. **Bring props!**
2. If you dislike standardized tests, you are in for a treat! I am personally not bad at standardized tests as I have taken the LSAT and scored quite well on it. I am, however, terrible at tests where I have no time to prepare for them. They are not basic math problems but rather quite tricky Math and English questions. You might wonder how English/ reaidng comprehension questions could be challanging- but they are!
3. Don't bank on an offer. They fly 85% of their candidates out to Madison, so it doesn't mean they are very serious about you. Im surprised they can afford to spend that kind of money on applicants. You will be up against students from top schools such as Harvard and Stanford, so in my eyes its not the end of the world if you don't get an offer. Go learn about Epic, do your best, and HAVE FUN!
I thought I was quite a strong candidate with having a high GPA and experience with 2 fortune 100 companies, but they are looking for something very specific- I couldn't tell you what. I don't think anyone but HR really knows.
**If you are up for a challange and you are ready to accept a job that requires you to work 60+ hours a week for only 60 grand this is the place for you! The average time a Project Manager stays with the company is about 2 years as they burn out quite quickly. You get a lot of experience under your belt quite fast but this is not a place to settle down with but rather a stepping stone into getting a position with a company like Cisco or HP.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Verona, WI (took 3 months)
Dropped off my resume at a college career fair, was given an online account a week later and asked to take a Rembrandt personality survey (which also included some word-knowledge and IQ type questions, which I didn't expect--took the survey late at night). A phone interview followed a week later, which was a brief HR screening (not technical at all, just went over what was on the resume).
A skills assessment was authorized 2 weeks later and I scheduled it in for 2 weeks later (thus, this is about six weeks after first contact already). Skills assessment was based on correct answers as well as speed; I took quite a bit longer than I think the average time, but still was offered an on-site interview 2 weeks later. On-site interview took 1 day (fly in previous night, fly out that night) and started quite early... Mainly tests of whether you are able to work in an office environment (e.g. if your colleague is completely wrong, what can you do? What if you're in a meeting?).
Received good news about 2 weeks after the on-site interview. Total process took about three months, longer than I would expect.
I'm sure others have noted that it's an expansive and expanding campus, the atmosphere is very simple and almost reminiscent of college (thus, probably the number of young people)...

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Madison, WI (took 2 weeks)
1st round: Epic HR e-mailed to schedule for a phone interview -which went really smoothly.
2nd round: Computerized test: The first half of the test was similar to the GRE quant questions, The second half was all programing, and I think I did horribly hence did not receive an offer.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Verona, WI (took 2 days)
Got flown into Madison to interview for several positions at Epic. Process was very long and thorough, and included multiple interviews, several written tests, and a presentation for a panel of three employees. Nothing too difficult, just a lot of talking and walking around their truly impressive facilities. My advice is to be yourself and just try to act casual; they don't take themselves too seriously. Also, DO NOT, wear a suit or anything too fancy. You'll stick out like a sore thumb and it will reflect poorly upon you, one poor guy was the only person I saw wearing one in the entire company.

I'm still in the process of negotiating. The starting offer seemed a bit low but it's difficult to tell considering that this is a very uncommon position at the company.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Madison, WI (took 5 days)
Their interview process is very well documented on this site, and is accurate. When I went there, I was applying for PM/IC and pricing analyst, but ended up being offered a job in some ITish position. I'm sure I would've loved working there, but I got offered a really great job in my home state.
