I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in June 2011
Interview
Was invited to apply online through one of their recruiters. About 1.5 weeks later, received an email to complete an online test (Rembrandt personality test). Next, received a phone interview request. The next day after the phone interview, which consists of previous work experience and interests, I was offered to interview on site. Epic also offered to fly my significant other and offered an additional stay due to possible relocation. The on site interview consist of 2 minute assessment test (logic, math and language), learning a programming language, one on one interview, and finally another math and programming test. The onsite interview started at 8:15 and ended at 3 pm.
The programming questions are easier than other software corporation such as Microsoft or Google.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
If you are unable to meet a deadline, what will you do?
Medium level leetcode and then a very basic system design question as a final round interview. Overall, smooth and simple process. Only one technical and it was the first one.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you design a system to minimize wait time at a health care center?
First round is a thirty minute phone call with one of their developers. The other part of the first round is a three hour exam with IQ test style logic questions and coding questions.
[OA] OA was fair. Programming part are leetcode easy and easy-mediums, straightforward simulation, backtracking, dfs, strings, etc. No DP/graphs but ymmv.
[Final interview] (Case Study) I think the interviewer came up with their own prompt. It's mostly discussion-based, with a virtual white board. It's not too technical. I'm guessing its testing your communication/logical reasoning than system design skills. (Pair programming) 1 question, same format as the OA on the same platform, leetcode easy.
[Overall] Technical difficulty isn't bad. Interviewers who are current software devs seemed friendly. Had a good experience, yet got rejected.
