I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic
Interview
Was emailed by a recruiter from Epic that they found my resume through my university's career site and asked me to fill out a generic form to see if I was a good fit. Got an email a few days later from another recruiter who said they wanted to do a phone screening, and also wanted me to complete an online assessment beforehand to speed up the process.
The interviewer was 10 minutes late when calling me and asked me 2-3 questions about Epic and about my personal background then opened it up to questions. After I asked my questions, she rudely says "Well nice talking to you. Have a good rest of your day" and doesn't mention when I could expect a reply or a follow-up. This makes me think that she already saw me as unfit for the role and decided not to bother giving me a general timeline of when I could expect a response. Totally unprofessional, and it was clear from the interview that she was uninterested in what I had to say which is funny because THEY were the ones who sought me out. Not me. And for them to ask me why I would be a good fit for the role is baffling because I already filled out an online form for them to determine if I would be compatible for the position.
Don't bother applying to Epic. They will basically ask you the same questions from the online form and not provide a follow-up date.
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.
