J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Epic (Madison, WI) en déc. 2011
Entretien
I initially received a recruiting email from Epic after allowing Teach for America to pass my information along to other companies and organizations that were recruiting. Initially I was not interested, but I saved the email and decided to come back to this after I switched tracks from teaching. I was recruited for the Project Manager position, but when I applied for that, apparently my personality wasn't a good fit and it was suggested I apply for a position in Technical Services.
The process started with an "informal" phone interview which was conducted by someone in TS. Clearly not a professional recruiter (at the end there was about a 15 second pause after I finished talking... apparently he was waiting for me to close the conversation? Weird), but it was all right. They place a ton of weight on things like grades and test scores, so since I had high SAT and GRE scores, I wasn't surprised when I heard that Epic wanted to bring me on campus for and interview.
They paid for transport to Madison and put me up in a great hotel, with a delicious free dinner/info time with current employees. The actual interview process the next day consisted of a lot of different tests to verify technical aptitude, along with performance questions to gauge how I'd handle high-pressure situations. It was pretty comprehensive.
Three days or so later I got a call congratulating me on an offer (very generous, financially). I told them I needed a couple of weeks to decide because of things I was waiting to hear back from, and eventually I declined the offer.

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.

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.

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.

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.
