I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI)
Interview
Easy phone interview, very hard testing process. Job description says you don't need a Comp Sci background, that "they'll teach you what you need to know," but the testing says otherwise. If you don't have a basic Comp Sci class (like me), you will not pass the test. They also test you on grammar (easy), verbal reasoning (so-so), and math skills (hard). There are some really tricky verbal reasoning questions (like 9 tigers need to fit into 12 rooms or something like that), very strange.
Bottom line - you need to either have a good comp sci background to pass the test or be a genius.
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.
