I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Epic Games (Bellevue, WA) in Sept 2018
Interview
Phone call. 1 on 1 Meeting. Take-home technical. The take-home test is extremely easy, but still a bit time consuming(better part of a day if you know what you're doing). I submitted work at a level of quality and robustness I would generally expect a callback based on past experience.
After several weeks they responded to the submission with a rejection and no feedback as to why.
I honestly feel this was a waste of my time. You should not require such large time commitments of applicants if you're not willing to provide them feedback from the process.

Other Senior Backend Engineer interview reviews for Epic Games
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic Games in Dec 2021
Interview
Initial zoom call with recruiter and then a zoom call with hiring manager. Recruiter was 10 min late to initial meeting (reported previous meeting running late). Hiring manager was also late and didn't seem that interested in the call. Seemed to question every given answer I gave just to question it. Over the course of the 30 min meeting the manager actively appeared bored and not focused on our discussions. AfterI was able to ask 3 follow up questions the hiring manager exited as quickly as possible without giving any expected outcomes/followups to the recruitment process and any possible next steps.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- How would you onboard a new team member to a project?
- Do you have experience creating libraries? If so, why would you create a library over a service/api?
- How would you handle a customer reporting an issue with a service/API you support?
- How would you diagnose/troubleshoot an application suddenly getting a large increase in the number of requests.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Epic Games in Oct 2021
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me to discuss a job, sent him a Calendly link and booked a 30 min slot. I waited for them for 15 minutes but they didn't show up.
Thanks for breaking my flow and wasting my time :)
