I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Dallas, TX) in Oct 2024
Interview
It was quick! Recruiter reached out to me and encouraged me to apply, I thought why not? Got invited to take the exam a few days later. The exam is hard, I didn't know it would be an exam when I started, and it took almost 4 hours. A day after the exam, I got an email saying we'll get back within a couple of days to see if we want to give you an interview. Got an email 4 hours later for the interview invite. Interview day was 4 hours. 30 minute presentation on both PM and QM. 45 min case study with a group. 10 min presentation, 30 minute wrap up with recruiter. He asked if I wanted QM or PM more, I said PM. He said I would hear back within 2 weeks. Got PM offer a week later. Overall, pretty chill once you get past the exam but the exam is difficult. I haven't accepted yet but I am planning on deciding after I go to Madison to visit the campus (they will fly you and a guest out!) Leaning more towards yes right now.
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.
Interview questions [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.
