Too soon to receive offer- will update. I applied directly on their website and heard back within a week, I think. The first email that came was one that told me the offered salary would be less than my “acceptable range” I listed on the application and did I want to continue, which I did. I had a 30-min call with a recruiter to give me an overview of the company and role. We talked about the % time spent traveling, some of the more unique benefits, and the required relocation to Madison, WI. I was reassured that, if I got far enough in the process, I would be flown out to the “Intergalactic Headquarters” for a few days to have an extensive day of interviews and get a feel for the surrounding towns. Madison is really fun. She had me walk her through my background/previous work experience. It was like a conversation, rather than a traditional interview. No curve-ball questions. They advise you to sign up for their online proctored exam and personality test quickly. Basically, you connect with a person remotely who accessed your computer mic/camera. You’re allowed scratch paper and a calculator. There are responses from other people on here that outline the types of questions. Basically, there are timed sections and there’s nothing to study. It felt a little like the PSATs. The section about learning a made-up code threw me, because I have ABSOLUTELY no experience with something like that. I thought I’d bombed that test, but I spoke with an HR person less than 48hrs post-test. Asked standard interview questions, no curve balls. We discussed what to expect on site and how to prep. They paid for airfare and were flexible about the length of stay there. I flew my significant other in and spent all of Sunday, Monday evening, and Tuesday morning exploring and eating our way through Madison. They put you up in a hotel in downtown Madison and pay for all the transportation and meal costs. I don’t think they would reimburse for alcohol, as they do not allow employees to drink when customers are present, have dry events, and do not reimburse employees for alcohol while traveling. Sunday, an Epic employee took a group of applicants to dinner and answered whatever questions we had. He reassured us that the dress code really IS casual and it’s not a test. You can wear whatever you want, because the dress code for employees is also casual. On Monday, I had a 9am start time and was picked up at the hotel by a cab that bills Epic directly. I brought the requested application, unofficial college transcript, and list of 3 references. I met with an HR contact and was given a notebook and a schedule that outlined my day and noted where and with whom I would meet. There was always someone assigned to take me from one place to another. I was given time to set up my presentation (they’ll talk to you about it ahead of time if it’s something you need to do). I did my presentation, sat with a project manager and another applicant to get an overview of the role, then had two one-on-one interviews with clinical people. They wanted to know about me and then let me ask more specific questions about how the Clinical PM is different from a general PM. Everyone has some sort of skills assessment. Mine was a case study. Nothing to really prepare for. I was given a limited amount of time to make some notes about it, then talked it through with a PM asking some challenging questions. I had lunch with an Epic employee and a group of applicants. The food was paid for and was delicious. It provided the opportunity to also see a bunch of employees and get a sense of the culture. I got a tour of the campus lead by another employee and, let me just say, it was way too cool to describe. Tons of spaces to work, everyone gets an office and there are no cubicles (you may share an office). Each building is connected so you don’t have to go outside to get from one to another. They’re all given a fun, individualized theme and there’s art from local artists EVERYWHERE. You’ll hear the story about how “Deep Space” (their 11,000+ seat underground auditorium) was engineered, too. There are shuttles provided if you need to quickly get from one building to another and bikes everywhere to use, as well. The grounds are really beautiful. Finally, I met with my HR contact again, told him about my feelings on the day, and asked him some questions about benefits and things. He asked me several interview-type questions, but it felt pretty low-pressure. A cab took me back to the hotel around 3/3:30.

The interview process was long and required a phone interview, skills assessment, and a Zoom 3 hour interview. 3 hour Zoom interview was redundant, and you were required to give a 10-minute presentation.
