Software Engineer/Developer Interview Experience
Process
I was contacted by an Epic recruiter and asked to apply. After I applied, I was contacted the next day and asked to complete a Rembrandt exam. The exam consisted of personality questions and very basic problem-solving.
After that, I was contacted again and asked to complete a phone interview. The phone interview lasted about an hour and was essentially going over my resume and answering questions, as well as asking a few of my own.
I was told at this point that a proctor for a skills test would be needed, and that I would be contacted when they had the exam ready for me to take. I received another email about 7-10 days later informing me that the company was "moving forward with other candidates." No mention was made of the exam that I was supposedly scheduled to take.
I did get the feeling from the interview process that the company is only interested in educational experience and not work experience at all. Most companies don't bother to ask what the GPA was on all degrees you have earned; this company does.

Epic Systems Work Experiences
- 2.0Smart coworkers, toxic and opaque leadership/HRSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeJuly 19, 2020Pros: Coworkers are smart. Pay is super competitive for the area/cost of living. Campus is amazing. Food is delicious and cheap.Cons: Pay is based on rankings done secretly behind closed doors where, if someone doesn’t like you, complaining and gossip abound. This creates an awful culture on many teams. You are told you’re a factory worker; this is one of our hills to stand on. Expect this to permeate every interaction with management/HR. Leadership is convinced you’re trying to steal from the company. They spy on you, create tons of restrictions around PTO/WFH, and treat you like dirt if you have any sort of health problems. Do not work here if you have a disability; you will be passively aggressively discriminated against. The amount of PTO was awful before COVID. Don’t let the sabbatical talk sway you. If you’re a developer being courted by other tech giants, consider this: many of them offer significantly more PTO at the start than you will ever get at Epic. That will matter more in the long term than you think. Culture is all about the customer. You will hear in one staff meeting how amazing we are to customers, then also told: you have to come back, culture matters to our sales, find childcare during a pandemic.
- 4.0Good Work, Weird CeoSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeVerona, Wisconsin, United StatesOctober 5, 2025Pros: The job has good work.Cons: The company has a weird CEO.
- 2.0Meat grinder with a sparkly coat of paintSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeMadison, Wisconsin, United StatesJuly 19, 2021Pros: - Decent compensation, but it's not that stellar when you consider how much overtime is involved. - Excellent food that's heavily subsidized. - Beautiful campus. - Surrounded by pretty smart and capable people.Cons: They will extract every ounce of effort that they can from you, no matter the personal cost. Expect to consistently work many hours of unpaid overtime. Upper levels will consistently gaslight and dehumanize you. Epic's handling of Covid/WFH really laid bare how little you matter. Diversity and inclusion is not a thing here.
