Lots of freedom. Generally speaking, you can change teams whenever you get bored. You can even change job roles entirely if you can meet the requirements.
Benefits are, generally speaking, really good. Base vacation is a bit low but offset with a sabbatical program available every 5 years.
Fun work for the most part. Most of the company is dedicated to transitioning to the web (as of 2018), so you may need to know or at least read VB6. However, for how big the company is, they do well at utilizing new technology.
Expectations are often times far too high. The average work week is expected to be around 50 hours (though you can talk this down, but you must be willing to do so).
Projects tend to have arbitrary deadlines. If the project manager is not tech-savvy or does not know the domain, hour estimates are widely off. But if they are too low, deadlines set on those timeframes are still expected to be met.
Work with project managers to get better at estimates. Work with team leads to set better expectations for developers on day 1.
apply on the campus career fair. Got a phone interview from its current software developer. Ask questions about why you want to be a software developer and why you chose this company. Ask questions about past projects.
Phone call, coding test, then flying out to Madison for multiple rounds of in-person interviews. Interviews in Madison were a mix of technical and behavioral, though mostly technical. It also included a full tour.
I had an initial phone screening where a recruiter explained the role to me and asked me if I had any questions or concerns about Epic. We didn't discuss the role much but rather the company and the benefits it provides.
