Interviewed Jan 2012 in Madison, WI (took 2 days)
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 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 Madison, WI (took 3 days)
I've made it through 2/3 of the interview process. I applied online and then was contacted by Epic to do a personality/math test. Really easy math and the logic problems are about the only thing that take time. After I took the test, I had a really easy phone interview where I ended up asking more questions than the interviewer. Then was asked to set up a final interview day at Epic

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Madison, WI (took 5 weeks)
The interview process started with a personality and basic math test, followed by a brief phone interview. The phone interview was fairly basic consisting of mostly questions about my interest in Epic and educational background. I was then selected for the on-site interview day in Madison. The day was long, but very structured and organized. There was a 2 person case analysis, one on one interview, 10 minute presentationa and some testing. The testing is basically SAT type questions related to verbal and math skills. The process took about 5 weeks and I was offered the position after recieving a phone call from the recruiter. Be prepared and you will do fine.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
Basically told me what the job is about and what the company was doing. We agreed that I might not be a good fit. The interviewer is patient, he told me a lot about the job postion. Actually I applied for a different position but was assigned to interview for this position after an online apitude test . Overall I think it is a good company because the interviewer is nice. I was offered to take a written test, but I do not like the position and declined the offer. I hope this will be helpful. The company is not very big so it is very careful when inviting people for onsite, thus a lot of prescreening is going on.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Madison, WI (took 3 weeks)
First, was contacted by a recruiter via Monster.com. From there, submitted application on their website. (Horribly buggy application form.)
Standard phone interview after that, asking pretty much 100% stuff that I'd already answered in the application. Definitely some questions that were getting at finding out my age.
From there, they flew me to Madison, for a day of on-site interviews, tours, etc. Had interview for two different positions. (One was 1:1, one was 2:1, the two being myself and another application with an interviewer.) Math/Verbal/Programming test, nothing terribly complicated.
Still waiting to hear on their final decision. (Which should come this week or next - they said two weeks.) When that happens, I'll update accordingly and flesh this out.)

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 1+ week)
Similar to what the other reviewers had suggested. Was recommended to the interview from Monster.com.
I got a call from HR, asked some basic behavior type questions. Interviewer was very friendly and knowledgeable and there was a lot of time to ask questions about the job posting at the end. Contacted within a week for next round which is a skills test at a local testing center. waiting to take the test next week.

Interviewed May 2011 in Madison, WI (took 3 weeks)
The overall process was pretty intensive, as can be seen by what the interview consisted of. The company seems to be very relaxed and very youth-focused, which is what I really liked. The programming test was simply the worst, though. One of the people who sat in on my presentation wasn't one of the nicest people I ever met, though. It would've been great to work with Epic, but it is how it is. I got to fly out to Madison for free, so hey. Can't really complain.
