I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Jun 2016
Interview
A recruiter emailed me, and after I applied, I was quickly contacted about a phone interview and I was impressed. Then everything went downhill.
The interviewer apparently forgot about my interview because I never received a call. When I emailed the HR person about the no-show, she simply said "Nick" couldn't reach me and offered no explanation or apology. When I asked if it was a problem with my number or connection, they didn't answer. Every email was very cold and impersonal. After I completed the skills assessment and Epic confirmed receiving my results, the HR person emailed me again telling me I needed to schedule my skills assessment. When I went to reschedule my phone interview and gave them my available times, they scheduled the interview for a day that I did not give them.
The interview itself seemed to go very well, but they said they would get back to me in a week. 2 weeks later I received an email that I had not received the position.
The whole process left me frustrated, angry, and less than impressed with this company's organizational abilities.
Interview was 3 hours long. It started with a general introduction of the company with 2 different people, then a 10 min case study on how you would approach a project followed by a presentation on a topic of your choice and finally the interview segment with the HR.
Incredibly long and tedious process; it honestly just felt like whoever could last the whole time got the job, because it felt that much of a test. The "interview" was information session after information session, and the actual interview wasn't even that hard. I think it is highly dependent on your test score.
