I applied online. I interviewed at Epic in Jun 2013
Interview
There will be a phone interview initially. The interviewer would be one of the software engineer. He will go through your resume and will ask about your projects. The next will be the coding interview. The coding test was divided in 4 sections. The last one was actual coding one.

Interview
The process is the same as the situation that many people described here. I applied online and got a phone call few days later to schedule a phone interview. During the phone interview, the interviewer basically went through my resume and asked my GPA, TOEFL, GRE,..etc. He asked only one technical question--- how do you solve "sudoku"? Few days after the phone interview, I got an email and asked to take the skill assessment online.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Apr 2013
Interview
After applying online, they contacted me via phone. First, I went through a couple of phone interviews, where they explained me how Epic works and asked me the usual interview questions (projects I worked in, best and worst qualities, plus some very basic programming questions). A couple of days later, they called me to schedule a time where I could take a monitored online skill test. The test was pretty long (2-4 hours) and it had 4 parts. The first one consisted in 10 basic math questions I had to answer in 2 minutes (I answered 7-8), a second math part, with no time limit, a programming part, with 3 programming problems, similar to programming competition ones, and one last part where the explain you a fictional programming language and you have to solve several questions about it. Not extremely hard, but kind of tricky sometimes.
A week later, they called me and flew me to Madison to the in-person interview. I had to give a 20-minute presentation about a project I had worked in to an engineer. Finally, a HR interview where they asked me how much would I like to earn. They called to offer me the job about 3-4 days later. The salary they offered was above the salary range I told them.

Question 1
The fictional language test is pretty tricky. I is important to pay attention to the details!
