I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Feb 2015
Interview
There are four (ish) steps to the application process.
First, the Epic recruiter at my university's career fair collected my resume, and had me fill out an online profile with general contact information, school, major, and G.P.A. This was on February 18th. On February 26th, I received an email from an H.R. representative asking to schedule a phone interview for the project manager/ implementation consultant position. After confirming my availability, I was scheduled for a phone interview on Wednesday, March 4th at 12:30 pm CT (10:30 am PST).
I was asked to complete a skills assessment test and a personality profile within five business days of the phone interview. The personality profile took approximately 30 minutes to complete and asked two types of questions. The first type of question listed four statements and had me select the one that was most true or most like me. After selecting the one that was most true or most like me, I had to repeat that process with the remaining three statements. The second type of question were math/logic puzzles.
The skills assessment test is proctored online by a third-party company called ProctorU. I scheduled my test for Monday, March 2nd. The skills assessment test is comprised of three sections. The first is a grammar/writing section, the second is a math/logic section, and the third is a programming section. The programming section includes progressive lessons for a made-up programming language designed to test my ability to learn new skills. The assessment test took a little under 2 hours to complete.
The phone interview was fairly informal. It lasted about thirty minutes. A current project manager asked questions about my resume and my interest in Epic. The second half of the interview was reserved for my questions about the company.
Two days after my phone interview, I received an email from H.R. saying that they had decided to move on to other candidates, however they thought that I would be a good candidate for the Quality Assurance position. This was on 3/5/2015. I will update this review as soon as I learn more.
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.
