My resume on Monster grabbed their interest and they contacted me. I sent them a revised resume and cover letter a few days after. A Rembrandt profile followed and had really basic questions. About a week later, I began to schedule a phone interview. The HR guy I corresponded was extremely flaky and did not respond to emails very well at all. Most of the time I had to cc Epic's main HR email address to get the guy to respond. Took 4 weeks, three reschedulings, and one wasted hour where I waited for an interview that never came. Finally after four weeks I got the phone interview out of the way. Like many postings here, the phone interview wasn't a big deal and didn't seem to improve my chances of getting the job at all. They next had me fly into Madison. Stayed in a terrific hotel and had dinner with an employee and another recruit that night. Next day, I was cabbed into Epic and got a whirlwind tour of the campus (impressive) and the software (not that impressive). Had a summary of the job given to a few of us by someone who worked there. Lunch was good and solidified my view that this place is for people who didn't want to leave college. Then I had an 1:1 oral test where I looked at various scenarios and prioritized them, it was really straightforward and easy. Next came something they called "wrap-up", which was basically a 1:1 interview in disguise. A few more questions, this time focused on my personality and with nothing that's not already mentioned in other reviews here. Last were the skills tests. A speed math test, followed by longer math, verbal, and programming. I didn't feel that any portion was hard at all. After that I wandered around the campus. For all the cool stuff they have in the hallways, I don't see that many people around to make the stuff worth being there. It seems strangely quiet throughout, which is fine because it's a workplace, but why then make it look like an amusement park? I wouldn't call it a cult, because everybody there really is normal and rational, but there was a definite eerie vibe in all the unused grandeur. Sent a thank-you to the "wrap-up" interviewer. Got a call a week later from her saying they would move forward with other applicants. Hate that phrase, it's like I'm bogging them down with my very presence. It must have been the GPA. I went to a good school, got good standardized test scores, was familiar with many programming languages, and thought I did well on Epic's interviews and tests. What makes it confusing is that they knew my GPA from the start. Regardless, the transcripts I gave them in Madison must have done a good job of dissuading them. Oh well, it was a fun weekend. (first class seats all the way back!) Madison's a really random place to live anyway.
