Overview: 1 phone interview, 1 proctored online technical test, a few on-site interviews, and Q&A sessions.

Dropped my resume on their website in October 2014. From there, took a preliminary 30-minute interview with a software developer (not an HR guy) reviewing my past work and answering my questions about Epic.

Proctored online test after that, with a timed IQ test-style part, a brainteaser part, another to test how quick you can pick up a new programming language, and another that asks you to program a small function in a language of your choice.

Didn't hear back for a while, so I assumed I'd been turned down. News came in November 2014 that they wanted to fly me out for a day-long interview. They were very generous: they put us up in a Hilton in Madison, covered all costs of travel and food, and invited us to dinner with real Epic employees. (Tip: try the local specialties, like beer-battered cheese curds, and explore UW's campus.)

Since the technical interview had already been taken care of online, the time spent on-site was mostly (I presume) used to gauge whether we meshed with the company culture and to show us what the workplace is like. They started with an overview of Epic's software suite (which was sorely needed--the website isn't very helpful for that), then had us break into small groups for Q&A with an employee.

My rough patch was here. We were put one-on-one with a developer in a room with a whiteboard and asked to explain a project we'd worked on. I personally had only a very minor project to present, and my interviewer didn't seem too impressed when I finished before even half of my time had passed. I spent the rest of the session asking her questions about her job.

Then we were taken to lunch in the cafeteria. Epic brings in gourmet chefs from Madison to do lunch and subsidizes the meals to about wholesale levels--big points scored there for me since I love food.

The day ended with a tour of campus and Epic's peculiar workspaces. A few notable characteristics:

• No cubicles. People are put in small groups in "real rooms".
• Buildings have themes. We were shown the D&D/castle building, the NYC building, the Nordic building, and the newly-finished barn building.
• Almost all software developers work on this campus to facilitate cooperation.
• The Verona office is almost entirely off the grid, being powered by geothermal, solar, and wind energy.

Received a call 2 weeks later saying they're extending an offer. As others have noted, a relocation stipend is available, as is prearranged housing. (Though you can choose to take that money and arrange your own housing.)
