I applied online. I interviewed at Epic in Jan 2023
First Step Interview: They will just ask you about the projects you have had and the languages you are familiar with. Be ready to talk about your projects. It is better to make a list of them and gather as much information about each possible. If you have done most work on your projects, you may not need to do review. lol
- What languages you have experience? What projects you have? What is your plan for next 5 to 10 years ?

Phone screen (30 mins) > online test (3 hours) > final interview (3 hours) You can find all the questions you need to succeed by looking through Glassdoor. I scraped through hundreds of the interviews here and no question I was asked wasn't here, so study up and prep your answers. Phone screen is easy, but the test was honestly really difficult and determines your fate. Lots of logic, pseudo-coding, math, and English grammar skills. The final day is a few rounds but at this point, maybe half will get an offer (software demo, PM role overview, case study, presentation, wrap-up with recruiter). Come prepared, speak about something you know well for your presentation, and you'll be fine.
- General * Tell me about yourself. * Name 5 things you are not. * What are traits you think make a successful leader? * What is the most interesting thing you ever did? * Are you more of a big picture or details person? * What would you bring to this job that you feel others may not? * What is the best advice you would give to yourself five years ago? * If I spoke with your references, what would they tell me about you? * Describe your ideal supervisor. * How much do you participate in meetings percentage wise? * What is a misconception people have about you? * What is the most important trait in order to be successful? About Epic * Why Epic? * Where do you see healthcare in the next 20 years? * If given multiple job offers, what would be the determining factor in your choice? Work Experience * Tell us about a situation in which you took charge of a team. * Think of a time when you were in-charge and the decision you made turned out to be the wrong decision. How did you handle it? * Describe a time when you may have encountered a difficult situation and the steps you took to ensure resolution. * What type of projects have you done? * What was the most difficult project you had to complete? * Give an example of a time you showed initiative? * What is an example of a problem you solved? * Tell me about a time you were criticized. How did you work on this? Hypothetical Situations * Scenario: There is a decision to be made for a client in which there are four team members and one team leader. Everyone has the same experience and seniority. All four team members think that one action should be taken, and the team leader wants to do something else. The team members believe that what the leader wants to do will waste time and money for the client. * Two situations: one where you are the team leader and one where you are one of the four others. What do you do as each in this scenario? * Scenario: You have a go-live in a week but the physicians are not getting the advanced features they want and are threatening to quit if they do not get these advanced features. How do you solve the problem? * Scenario: How would you handle a situation where a client is about to Go Live with the product and tells you there is another hospital that the software is not created or tested for and hospital personnel are not trained? * How would you handle a conflict or disagreement with somebody on your team? * What would you do in a situation where you are a leader and you make a decision your team doesn't agree with? * What would you do if you disagree with your leader's decision? * If there was someone on your team who was chronically underperforming, how would you handle it? * You're in a group with three other employees, and you think you should solve a problem a certain way, but the three other group members think that the problem should be solved another way. You're certain you're correct. How do you proceed? * What would you do if a customer expressed a problem with one of your team members? * Would you rather speak in front of 30 strangers, 6 colleagues you know kind of well, or 1 person of authority? Why? * Which of the following would be the most difficult to present to: the CEO of a company, a group of 5-8 people who are pretty educated on what you're about to present on, or a group of 50 that have no background knowledge on the information you're presenting?

I applied online. I interviewed at Epic
The interview process at this company was an exhausting marathon, indicative of a lack of respect for candidates' time. With a grueling 4-hour proctored session filled with irrelevant math questions and coding exercises, followed by a 1-hour automated behavioral assessment, the experience felt more like a test of endurance than an evaluation of skills. It felt like I threw away 5 hours for nothing.
- basic math and 4 leetcode questions

Online assessment, most sections time limited except for one, but time was still recorded. It has math, logic, and chart reading sections. The overall difficulties were so great but there's a section that only allowed 2 minutes but had around 10 problems.
- There were premises followed by a statement and the participant was to choose from necessarily true, probably true, probably false, or necessarily false.

I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI)
Took an assessment that was comprehensive analysis of coding, math, and reading comprehension and was then contacted for a phone interview that was approximately 30 minutes. Phone interview was mainly telling applicants about the position (Interviewer was someone in same field) and asking questions about resume.
- Why are you interested in working at EPIC? -Also asked questions about resume.

The assessment is the worst part of applying at Epic. After a phone interview, I worked on the assessment, which was 4 hours long. I was so done half way through I just quit and started looking for job somewhere else.
- Q: Why did you choose your major?

Nontechnical phone interview then 3 hour standardized test with coding questions. The test had weird questions like counting syllables in words to uncover a pattern. Coding questions were at the end but I recommend doing them first as the other questions are easier but draining.
- Tell me about a project

Multiple step interview process: online exam (3-4 hours), screening interview, then an interview on Zoom. Seemed like a very extensive process. To me, it seemed like most people got booted on the online exam portion.
- Why do you think you'd be a good fit at EPIC?

Initial assessment screening followed up with a phone interview. I was called by a recruiter at a designated time. Phone interview lasted about 15 minutes. Asked basic questions and described the role. Discussed team composition and what the responsibilities would be.
- What is your experience with the role? Do you understand the position entails significant travel? Would you be willing to relocate?

Long people were nice but no idea why not hired wish they would give feedback instead of just “going in another direction” Took a day off of work for nothing
