In April of 2013, I received an email from an Epic recruiter suggesting that I apply to Epic. I applied and was then contacted by HR a week later to schedule a phone interview. I scheduled the phone interview for a day later. The phone interview involves going over your resume and is relatively short, around 20 minutes. On the phone interview, I was asked: "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?", "What are 5 things you are not?", and "What do you know about the position/what questions do you have about Epic?" After completing the phone interview, I received an email to schedule a 1-2 hour online assessment and complete a Rembrandt psychological profile.

I completed the profile and scheduled the assessment for two weeks later. The assessment included Math Logic, Basic Math, Verbal Reasoning (identifying incorrect grammar), and a Programming section for non-programmers. I do not have a background in computer engineering, so if you did not take a heavy load of mathematics in college, I would advise reviewing some basic math and searching for these math logic questions. I did not review anything for the assessment and it took me way too long.

About 2 weeks later, I received an email that "they were moving on with other candidates." Recently, a friend recommended that I re-apply to Epic for the "software tester" or "quality assurance" position. He told me that a lot of people he worked with applied to Epic more than once. I sent him my resume, and he submitted it at Epic. I then applied for the position through the Epic website. It's been a week and a half and I still have not received a response. My friend at Epic told me that after the phone interview and the assessment, if you get asked to Madison, WI for a formal interview, you will almost certainly get the job.

What are five things you are not?
