Interview
I first applied through my college job fair. The recruiter submitted my information into their system and I got their email after about a week later. I was set up for a 30min phone interview. They asked me basic questions like any other interviews. Then I was set up for an assessment test. After that, I was disqualified. Good to have at least a basic computer programming skill.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment test really tests how well you do problem solving, such as some math problems and how fast you get adapted to the new programming.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI)
Interview
The interview process consisted of a phone interview, followed by online questionnaires, then the on site interview. The phone interview was a basic personality interview, with questions about living in Wisconsin, about working in healthcare, etc. They basically wanted to make sure you were not a sociopath or lying on your resume/application. The online questionnaires were standard personality/skills ones. The on site interview was a standard "what would you do in X situation" style interview followed by a couple of tests. The tests were for computer skills and basic programming. You didn't have to write in a specific language, as no one knows how to write in M (the languate they work with) anyway.

Question 1
Tell me a time when you had an issue with a coworker and how did you resolve it?
I applied through college or university. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Jan 2015
Interview
1st: phone interview to figure out logistics, not many interview type questions (when could you start, how often would you mind traveling, would you relocate to WI,etc)
2nd: logic and coding online placement tests. These are just to see where you are and how you think through logic problems, even the coding sections are just to see your thought process, they aren't even in a specific language.
3rd: personality test. I think this is just to see exactly what role you would be a good fit for.
4th: on-site interview. They let me bring my husband from VA to WI to visit the city! The on-site had tours and meetings and a few different types of interviews. One interview about issue prioritization and important steps. One interview about personality and situation-specific questions. Lastly, one interview about next steps and logistics.
