Interview
Most of these other reviews hash out the interview process pretty thoroughly, so I won't go into it again. But I will say that the entire process was extremely long due to the stages of evaluation, but pretty efficient. I never waited more than a week to hear whether I had advanced to the next round. Overall, people there seemed friendly and happy to be there. Though I went there on the fence about the position, I walked away with a better impression than I got from the reviews on Glassdoor.
I would say that of all the parts of the interview, I was most nervous about the presentation and I know that it showed. If I were to do it again, I would do it on something more casual rather than the more complicated/intellectual topic that I chose.
I think my only issue with the entire process was that my recruiter seemed incredibly young and inexperienced, so I found it hard to connect with him due to an almost overbearing professionalism. I found out later, thanks to a couple insiders, that he had only started in June and that I was his first recruit, so I think he may just have been nervous.
In the end, they must have decided that I wasn't right for the position, but really, I can't complain. Like someone else mentioned, even if they didn't extend an offer, it was a free trip to Madison and a good chance to practice interviewing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is one question I haven't asked you that I should have?
Glassdoor had very accurate description of the whole process. I did resume drop, did the online assessment, then got scheduled for a role introduction session where you listen to the person who currently has the job to describe what they do. Afterwards, there's the superday online where you will do a 10-min presentation on any topic you like and case study with peers, then behaviors. Overall a pretty smooth and enjoyable experience.

Interview
I sent in my application and received an email from HR two days later asking if I agreed on thee salary. First process is you get a role intro, then an assessment test which is like 4 hours. They heavily rely on your test scores and are confirming that you’re a relatively normal and capable person before they offer you the job.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Aug 2022
Interview
I was contacted on LinkedIn by a person from epic who encouraged me to apply for project manager role, sent me a link, I’m guessing I was scouted because on my profile I was #openforwork And I had some EHR software implementation experience in healthcare in my work history. (About 6 months worth). I filled out the project manager application online, I scheduled a time to watch the role introduction (just a zoom live seminar with some info on the role) and take the assessments. I did send the recruiter Just a question before my assessments asking for how much the role paid, like a salary range even, he replied with a non-answer saying that it is different for every candidate and once they have more information on my background, we can talk about salary.
That was kind of annoying, seeing as they were asking me to sign up for a 3 to 4 hour test for a role that I wasn’t even sure if it would be worth it, especially since moving to Wisconsin was part of the requirements. My last job was remote and I was mostly looking for remote roles.
I studied a bit, looked up some logic questions or questions from the assessment (didn’t find much but a few practice questions online that folks said were from epic hiring tests) I took the assessment and I think I did pretty accurately but I used most of the available time, so speed was not something I felt I really competed on. After a few days I got an email saying that they were not going to move forward with me as a candidate. Seemed like a cool job but I was relieved honestly. It seems like a role for folks fresh out of college where you give your life to the company and they work you to the bone. I’m later in my life and career I don’t really have the energy for all that.
