Process

Received an email from them asking to set up a phone interview.

Accepted and spoke with a developer at Epic.

He asked me a few questions about my background, my interest in software development, gave a quick technical interview, and then allowed me to ask any questions about the company.

I was then asked to take an online assessment with some testing company.

Good company for up to a year or two

Software Developer • Former Employee

Madison, Wisconsin, United States

Pros: Individual offices, good food, good pay for the location, and good buildings (for everyone). Good projects, good managers, and a good team (if you are lucky enough).

Cons: In my case, they hired me as a C# web developer, trained me for 6 months on C#, and then I was given VB projects. I had a bad team. I am not even sure that the team I worked with at least knew the rest of the team members. It doesn't fit software developers who wish to work on the latest technologies. At Epic, all the tools they use are built by them, so it is difficult to use the learnings at Epic elsewhere.
