I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Epic in Mar 2010
Interview
I received an e-mail from a hiring manager who saw my resume on Monster.com. I submitted my resume and received an e-mail asking me to send them a good time for a phone interview and to fill out an online questionnaire. After reading all the reviews on this site, I was very wary.
The questionnaire was a basic personality and intelligence test. Very easy but kind of strange. I haven’t had to fill out something like this in years.
The phone interview was very formulaic. I don’t even think the interviewer had even seen my resume, let alone have it in front of him. All his questions were just a repeat of everything I had already filled out online. When he asked me for my SAT/ACT scores, I realized that I have way more experience than they were looking for.
I wasn't brought in for an in-person interview. I think this was because of two factors. 1. When they asked me how much travel I was willing to do, I said up to 50%. The interviewer said the job was 75% travel, but when he described it as leave on Monday, return on Friday every week, it sounded more like 100% travel. 2. I asked several, what I thought were basic, questions that he was unable to answer. Things like, “What benefits do you customers get from using your software?” and “Could you tell me more about the projects?” I got the feeling that they aren’t looking for employees who will ask questions.
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.
