I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Oct 2009
Interview
Whole process moved pretty quickly which was a plus. I was asked to sign up for a 1:1 interview thru my college's career center but prior to the interview date they asked me to take an online personality assessment (called "Rembrandt Profile"). The questions on it were a bit strange but it didn't take long to finish. Then I had a 1:1 interview which took about 30 min. The interviewer worked on the tech side and my impression of him was that he's your typical tech guy - a bit socially awkward with low EQ - his tone was markedly rude when I mistook something he had stated. But overall, his questions were straightforward (informational, behavioral & hypothetical situations) and it was obvious he was running down a checklist when interviewing me. Shortly after the interview, I was moved onto the next round where they asked me to take another assessment on campus. There were 3 parts: verbal, math, and programming. You're scored based on accuracy and speed and you have up to 2 hours to finish everything. They don't expect you to study for the tests and it's nothing too difficult though I had trouble with programming since it's not my area. I was notified a week after taking the assessment that I wouldn't be moving forward with another interview. They were very secretive/shady in the end, though. Basically they said they weren't going to move forward with my candidacy but were very clear to add that they couldn't give me any reasons so don't even bother asking. I understand them not wanting to deal with rejected candidates but they could've found a more diplomatic way of putting things.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
On a scale of 1 to 10, how assertive are you? (1 being "not very," 10 being "very.")
Glassdoor had very accurate description of the whole process. I did resume drop, did the online assessment, then got scheduled for a role introduction session where you listen to the person who currently has the job to describe what they do. Afterwards, there's the superday online where you will do a 10-min presentation on any topic you like and case study with peers, then behaviors. Overall a pretty smooth and enjoyable experience.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI)
Interview
I sent in my application and received an email from HR two days later asking if I agreed on thee salary. First process is you get a role intro, then an assessment test which is like 4 hours. They heavily rely on your test scores and are confirming that you’re a relatively normal and capable person before they offer you the job.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Aug 2022
Interview
I was contacted on LinkedIn by a person from epic who encouraged me to apply for project manager role, sent me a link, I’m guessing I was scouted because on my profile I was #openforwork And I had some EHR software implementation experience in healthcare in my work history. (About 6 months worth). I filled out the project manager application online, I scheduled a time to watch the role introduction (just a zoom live seminar with some info on the role) and take the assessments. I did send the recruiter Just a question before my assessments asking for how much the role paid, like a salary range even, he replied with a non-answer saying that it is different for every candidate and once they have more information on my background, we can talk about salary.
That was kind of annoying, seeing as they were asking me to sign up for a 3 to 4 hour test for a role that I wasn’t even sure if it would be worth it, especially since moving to Wisconsin was part of the requirements. My last job was remote and I was mostly looking for remote roles.
I studied a bit, looked up some logic questions or questions from the assessment (didn’t find much but a few practice questions online that folks said were from epic hiring tests) I took the assessment and I think I did pretty accurately but I used most of the available time, so speed was not something I felt I really competed on. After a few days I got an email saying that they were not going to move forward with me as a candidate. Seemed like a cool job but I was relieved honestly. It seems like a role for folks fresh out of college where you give your life to the company and they work you to the bone. I’m later in my life and career I don’t really have the energy for all that.
