Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Epic (Madison, WI) nel mese di mar 2013
Colloquio
Probably one of the most structured hiring processes for those out of college, that I've seen so far at least. You apply for a position then, if they're interested, they will either contact you for a phone interview for the position or for a position they feel would "best fit you." The application itself is all in-house so don't expect Taleo or any of the other standard websites to come in. They also ask a lot more about you outside of your work and education experiences, much of which is attempting to get you know you better. After the phone interview they will give assign you to do a standardized math, reading, and pseudo-programming test (no programming experience necessary but understanding how coding works helps!) usually in your hometown but I've seen a couple people get flown up to take it. The test itself isn't insanely difficult, they're basically seeing if you're smart or not and most people with a good all around education will do fine.
Once you pass those hurdles, they invite you to visit their main campus where they tour you through their facilities then have you meet with various employees currently working in the departments they intend to slot you into. Epic does a fantastic job beautifying their office and they well deserve then #1 spot of coolest office spaces on Glassdoor. Personally, I was not too interested in the "cool" office environment and sought to know more what I would be doing at my position on a regular basis, one which no interview could really pinpoint directly. This was a red flag for me that will be elaborated upon later. Environment is advertised as "relaxed" but it appears to be a misnomer.
The candidates were there for most of the day largely for touring then interviews here and there. For project manager candidates I saw many of them give a presentation and for software developers there were additional coding tests. TS saw largely one-to-one interviews, a group interview, then a case analysis where you are asked to solve simulated problems that may arise during your work. If you've made it that far, expect quite a lengthy day!
Oh, and you fly first class sometimes!
Phone interview with someone in the role followed by aptitude based exam. After scoring sufficiently on aptitude exam, more recruiter interviews and on-site visit.
The recruiter/phone interviews were fairly standard and aptitude exam is something you have to just go in blind to

Case study on how you would prioritize a given task list for the day
Initial phone conversation with another TS. Virtual interview with other candidates, main question was about how to handle a hypothetical situation with competing priorities. Technical coding interview (similar to Leetcode from what I know).

Asked about how we would handle a situation where there were multiple competing client and internal priorities.
Screening questions via online and then additional phone interview about background and other information about my education, experience, etc. Also gave information about Epic and the healthcare industry and the hospital systems.
