I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI) in Nov 2010
Interview
Got an email from a recruiter asking me to apply, so I did. Sent in my resume and cover letter. Next I took a personality test and got an email back asking to set up a phone interview. The phone interview was pretty standard about grades and work experience and the interviewer was friendly. Am going to on-site interview soon.
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Nov 2010
Interview
Was approached through Monster.com, and submitted an application through the company website. A few weeks later received an e-mail from which a phone interview was scheduled. The interviewer was evidently fresh out of college, and what he was able to tell me about the company itself was vague. A skills assessment was sent to my local library, and I hate to think that they base who gets invited to the campus on this! The obvious reasoning behind this examination was to see if the prospective employee could "think outside the box", but the whole thing was filled with the same sort of brain teasers one comes across in standardized tests in many fields. If one were *really* thinking outside the box, it couldn't be measured through such a test. I sorely regret that they didn't give me the chance to speak with anyone face-to-face.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Epic in Dec 2010
Interview
I first received an online personality test which was followed by a phone interview. After the phone interview I was told to go to my local library to take a skills test. The test wasn't too hard, just questions on math, english, and programming. I was later invited to an on site interview which I will be going to in a few weeks
