Reporting Engineer Interview Experience - Verona, Wisconsin
Process
Dropped off my resume at a college career fair and was given an online account a week later. I was asked to take a Rembrandt personality survey, which also included some word-knowledge and IQ-type questions, which I didn't expect. I took the survey late at night.
A phone interview followed a week later, which was a brief HR screening (not technical at all, just went over what was on the resume).
A skills assessment was authorized 2 weeks later, and I scheduled it for 2 weeks later (thus, this is about six weeks after first contact already).
The skills assessment was based on correct answers as well as speed. I took quite a bit longer than I think the average time, but still was offered an on-site interview 2 weeks later.
The on-site interview took 1 day (fly in previous night, fly out that night) and started quite early. Mainly tests of whether you are able to work in an office environment (e.g., if your colleague is completely wrong, what can you do? What if you're in a meeting?).
Received good news about 2 weeks after the on-site interview. Total process took about three months, longer than I would expect.
I'm sure others have noted that it's an expansive and expanding campus. The atmosphere is very simple and almost reminiscent of college (thus, probably the number of young people).

Epic Systems Work Experiences
- 2.0Not recommendReporting Engineer • Former EmployeeVerona, WIAugust 10, 2023Pros: Nice office; benefits; nice cafeCons: location is bad; limited career growth opportunities; job is boring
- 1.0Overall, it is a negative experience at EpicReporting Engineer • Current EmployeeOctober 4, 2011Pros: Salary is fine for college graduates. Office building looks nice.Cons: First, no balance between life and work. Your life is 100% up to your team lead. My team lead is not good at communicating with team members. He always pushed people to work, never motivated people, and sometimes demanded me to overwork until 9:00 pm twice a week. He does not care about people actually. Very very bad management style. Secondly, training is not sufficient to support my work. As a reporting engineer, I need to use Crystal Reports to design reporting templates. However, I did not receive Crystal Report and SQL training. My team lead and a lady on my team gave me many projects which I had no idea how to work with and I am told that I should figure out myself from company's web site and teach myself everything with very limited amount of time. I have to say, the work environment is not supportive. Thirdly, limited space for promotion & job is very boring because employees will never given diverse responsibilities. If you are a software developer, everyday you program, code, debug, QA, and make documentation. If you are a project manager, you travel extensively to implement software. That's all. Fourthly, the location is bad. Verona is not suitable for young professionals to live and work. Epic seems the only big company in greater Madison area. To sum up, I strong recommend people do not work for Epic System if they have other options. If Epic is the only company that give you the offer, you can take it but should remain a proactive job hunter to find other opportunities from Day 1. The turnover rate in Epic is very very high, so it can be a strong evidence to prove the information I provide here is correct. Good luck!
