I applied online. I interviewed at Epic in Nov 2012
Interview
The on-site interview is essentially an all-day SAT. You will spend very little time talking to a person about your qualifications, and a lot of time taking standardized tests. There isn't really any way to prepare for this, except for practicing SAT/GRE kinds of questions. This might be a good way to weed people out for programming positions, but it is well established in the education community that standardized testing is a poor reflection of ability, especially for something like Corporate Trainer, where the essential skill is communicating with people. They like to advertise that they have a very "smart" staff, but hey, I'm a grad student at UW Madison (and a teacher), and I didn't get past the testing. So how did I get into grad school? Well, thankfully schools look at the whole person, not just a bunch of test scores. Epic passes by a lot of qualified people in the interest of streamlining their interview process. Their loss! Don't waste your time unless you happen to be a good test-taker.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None of the questions are all that difficult. They are all basic standardized test questions. But if you're not good with test stress, you won't be able to demonstrate your abilities.
Two phone screens followed by an in-person tour and interview. It was a multi-step process. There are also tests that are administered at various points in the process. From start to finish, it takes a few weeks to get through.

Question 1
Q: What do you know about Epic? Why did you apply?
Very thorough. Make sure you know your resume front and back. Day long process. Lots of meeting many different people. They do pay for a hotel and travel costs. Interview went from 8:30 to 3. There were many many different parts to it.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI) in May 2018
Interview
Phone call, ridiculously long test, onsite interview along with sample lesson. The whole process took forever. I gave up on them getting back to me at one point, and then out of the blue was surprised with an invitation to come in.
Honestly, it was an exhausting day of interviewing, plus the travel to get there. I didn't get either of the two jobs I interviewed for, despite feeling I had done very well. It's difficult to know why I was disqualified, and of course they never tell you. I feel they wasted my time and really got my hopes up without being interested in my profile. But they do pay for everything, so good on 'em for that.

Many questions with different people. The most interesting one was what is your spirit animal.
