I applied online through their my university's job board. 2 days later I received a "thank you for your app..." email from Epic. Later that day, I received an email to set up a phone interview (30min length) within the next 5 business days. After scheduling, I received a confirmation of the scheduling, as well as direction to take a couple online exams within next 5 business days:
1st was a personality profile, takes 10-20 min, very standard personality test, no studying possible.
2nd was a skills assessment, not possible to study for this one either, stated to take 1-2hrs to complete(took me 2), test is proctored using a 3rd party company and can be take on your own computer, Some basic speed-math questions, then they teach you a fake programming language from scratch, you don't need any previous programming experience but my very light experience in programming helped a ton. I could have finished the test much faster, but it allows extra time and ability to go back and review questions as this helps with the fake programming language, so I made sure to take my time.
The emails say the process is apply-phone interview-skills assessment-final interview-offer.
I took the assessment prior to my phone interview, but it didn't seem to matter, and it even added a talking point with the interviewer, as her assessment wasn't the same as mine(been some time between the two of us taking it)
Phone Interview: It was with a person in a similar role to what I was applying for, had a couple 'HR' questions but was mainly about the role, the company, and was very casual.
After the Skills assessment and the Phone interview I felt extremely good about getting to the next step. The 6th Business day after completing the phone interview(skills assessment was done 2 days before), I received the 'pursuing other applicants' response and didn't make it to the final interview.
I knew going into it that epic has a very secretive and selective interview process. I will continue to look for more opportunities with Epic.
