Quality Assurance Interview Experience - Madison, Wisconsin

Process
Originally applied for the position of Manager. For whatever reason, Epic shuffled me into trying to go for Quality Assurance (probably as a result of the personality test at the beginning?). I was a bit irked that I'd been funneled somewhere else, which negatively impacted the rest of my interview process. I can understand using personality tests later in the game, but I'm flummoxed that by taking one, HR barred me from going for the job I was most qualified for.
Strange and arduous interview process.

Pros: There's plenty of space at quirky offices; they keep building more and more of them.
Cons: Training covers a bit of everything and goes deep into things that aren't relevant while glossing over daily needs.

"Culture" is very odd and Judy is crazy, but the perks and salary are good

Pros: Good salary and perks, smart and young colleagues, and doing work with large impact. Epic has the reputation of requiring very long hours, but I found it possible to keep up with the basic requirements of the job on less than 40 hours.
Cons: Judy (CEO) is crazy and in complete control. There is a two-hour staff meeting every month that every Epic employee must attend. Judy uses much of this time to rant off the top of her head about topics that are relevant to no one.
It seems impossible to be promoted to a management position unless you're willing to work 50+ hours per week. My impression is that the "culture" will never ever change.
Also, the software development process at Epic is a huge mess because they basically refuse to hire anyone with prior experience. I participated on one project where each and every one of the four developers were brand new at Epic (had started just months ago) and had no development experience except a CS degree.
