I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI) in Oct 2018
Interview
Applied at university career fair. Within a few days, we had scheduled a phone interview which was mainly a screening. It was talking for half an hour with a project manager about the company and the role. It was definitely mostly me asking questions and engaging in conversation.
A month after the phone screening without hearing from them, they offered to fly me out to Madison. They put us up in a hotel and that night I had dinner with 3 other candidates and a project manager. It was all very casual and low key.
The next day, the interview consisted of a presentation that lasted for 10 minutes. I made it up sitting in the waiting room so it's not hard. It's mostly to see if you have confidence and can speak clearly.
A lot of the day consisted of getting tours and talking with people about the role. There was one 30 minute behavioral interview and one 30 minute group case interview (it wasn't challenging or like a typical case interview). If you've worked on a group project before, you'll be fine for this portion.
Then there was an interview with HR where they asked about salary expectations and some more behavioral questions.
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.
