I was a little surprised at how lengthy the process was for me, but I think it may be standard for the company. I applied at the end of September, and about 2 weeks later I was contacted about setting up a phone interview. A week after that I had the phone interview. I was then invited to do an in-person interview at the Epic campus. Because I was local, the interview was only the first half (many people talk about an all-day on-campus interview, but I didn't do that). The first interview was when I did all the proficiency tests, and I met with the HR recruiter. I guess I did pretty well with those, because they asked me back for another interview when I met with a bunch of Project Managers, did the presentation, and had lunch. One thing that struck me is that the people you meet had all been at Epic for at least 5 years (at both interviews). Considering what you hear - that average turnover is about 2 years, I was surprised by this. It seems that it is done on purpose to make it seem like there is at least the possibility of longevity at the company. Also interesting was that everyone I interviewed with was my age but had been at the company for multiple years. And everyone in my interview groups were much younger than me (college age, just graduating). At every single step, I met with different people and they all had many different personality types. I didn't enjoy conversing with some, and most just seemed like they were doing this because they had to. Obviously, Epic has a strict structure for their interview process, but I think it prevented real conversations from taking place, which is disappointing. I did feel like I was going through an interview mill, and the questions they asked were all off a piece of paper. Ultimately, I did not get an offer, and I won't speculate as to why since my recruiter just gave me the standard rejection phone call. I'm sure I could have done better, or it just wasn't a good fit, or maybe there is truth to the age bias rumors (I am more than a few years out of college). I am kind of glad that I didn't get the job in the end, in all honesty, because I have since moved out of the Madison area. I say all this at the end, because I want to assure people reading this that I am not bitter about the experience, and these were my honest observations of the experience.

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.
