Software Developer Interview Experience - Verona, Wisconsin
Process
Pretty much like the others. I was contacted by a recruiter, had a phone interview, then did the test at Proctor U.
I found the Proctor U test extremely difficult and time-consuming.
After that, Epic flew me to Madison on Sunday and out on Tuesday. I had a personality test to fill out.
I had three interviews on Monday:
- A HR interview
- A project demonstration interview
- A problem-solving interview
I performed well on the HR and problem-solving interviews. I think I fell a bit short on the project demonstration interview. I spent most of my time discussing parts of the project I have been unable to solve. I believe I highlighted my shortcomings rather than emphasize my strengths in this interview.
Also, Epic seemed very interested in my college transcripts. Unfortunately, I am a below-average student, so I don't think this helped me much.
Ultimately, HR called me and said they had to pick other candidates, but that it was nice meeting me.

Epic Systems Work Experiences
- 2.0Good pay if you're willing to devote your life to the companySoftware Developer • Former EmployeeVerona, Wisconsin, United StatesFebruary 4, 2015Pros: Great starting salary for a job fresh out of undergrad. Except for vacation time, the benefits are quite good. Beautiful campus with great food that is also quite cheap. Nice signing bonus. As a developer, there's a chance you could have a private office starting out.Cons: Very limited vacation time. Lengthy training period. To have any hope of raises or advancement, you have to work very long hours. Most of the work will be with very obscure and/or obsolete technologies (Visual Basic 6 and MUMPS). A very lucky few will get to work with more modern things like C#, iOS, or Android, but everyone needs to work with MUMPS. Epic likes to present itself to its employees as a very open company, but many processes are so opaque (especially advancement) that they breed paranoia. Very high turnover rate. Software developers probably have the lowest turnover, but don't be surprised if many of the people you start with are gone after a year.

The main hire is college graduates without families to tie them down, so it's an easy first job for many.Cons: Be prepared to work 60+ hour weeks or risk falling behind. Zero structure. Claims to still be a growing business in its youth, but is rapidly declining. Main hire is college graduates without families to tie them down, because this is the easiest group of people to exploit.
