Epic might be a good company for folks just out of college who are glad to just have a job. This is not a company for anyone with experience.

They have some jobs that need to fill (Implementers right now) and they want to stick people in that, no matter their prior experience, skills, or even interest. It doesn't matter what you tell them; they need people for a certain role, and that's what you are going to get, hence the emphasis on college grads.

I have 15 years of experience in software development and the last 5 being in management. Even during the initial phone screen, I made it absolutely clear that I was looking for a technical plus management position and not a pure coding one. After a 2-hour coding test, I was finally called on-site. To my surprise, it was still for a software developer and "Implementer" role.

I figured they meant lead or something, so I went ahead. The interview was absolutely disappointing. I met about 4-5 people, varying in experience from 1 year to 3 years. Each was telling me what a day in a software developer life is. For God's sake, I've been in this industry for 15 years; I know what a day is going to be like.

They were reasonably smart but terribly immature and inexperienced. They have no clue on how to interview anyone with experience. One of them even told me that he normally interviews only fresh college grads, so he's not quite sure how to proceed.

What a total waste of time. Anyone who would have taken even the slightest look at my resume would have known that they do not have any position for me. They have it all geared towards fresh grads, including the silly SAT/GRE type tests and language and math skills, extremely lame in my view.

This is no company for experience. Great if you need somewhere to start, but honestly, if you are looking for a career (after having one), don't waste your time.

At the end, the recruiter was asking me if I was interested in an "Implementer role." Heck no... what part of software leadership don't you understand... anyway, waste of time...

The only positive was their hospitality. The campus is good, but after having worked for large corps, it's not anything out of the ordinary.

Typical coding questions like calendar functions and phone number words, etc.
