The interview process had three steps.
1) The Phone Interview
This was pretty standard of most phone interviews. I spoke with a current project manager briefly about my experience, and why I would want to work for Epic.
2) The Assessments
This was the worst part of the interview. These assessments were extremely time consuming. I think that these assessments may contribute to the racial makeup of the organization. It's well documented that standardized testing tends to have racial biases, so it's worrisome that this was a major part of the interview process. The test was also monitored, which is not ideal for individuals who may not have a quiet or isolated place to take the exam.
3) The Interview
I interviewed during the start of the spread of Covid in the U.S., so there was no on site interview. I spoke with 2 project managers about my experience, and had the opportunity to speak with them regarding their experiences with Epic. I also had to complete a 10 minute presentation, and could not use visual aids like PowerPoiont or Prezi. The final step was a discussion with an individual from HR regarding salary and compensation expectations.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for Epic?
Are you willing to travel?
How would you resolve an issue with an analyst from the healthcare organization not fulfilling their duties?
The process is very intense. Three or more hours of explanation, exams, and a presentation I had to create. The exams were both logic games and a personality test. I was preparing for weeks.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Explain a process that you find interesting. This can be any process - manufacturing, distribution of products, or a method to create something.
Not invested in who they're hiring if they rely heavily on multiple assessments for applicants to take (personality quiz, etc). These are unpaid and take hours. A poor use of time.
Intro zoom call, and several hours of tests on a lockdown browser before even getting to have the first ten minute phone interview. Phone interview was basically combing through my resume and any gaps.
