I applied online. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI)
Interview
Reached out by a recruiter, had a 20-30 min call with an engineer. Got sent a "behavior test" and a custom Epic "assessment". Behavior test took 20 minutes. Their custom epic assessment was timed, proctored, and you needed to schedule it for a certain time and date. It has a coding section, speed round, math section, custom coding section where you learn the most unintuitive "custom" programming language. The assessment took me a few hours and was pretty much a waste of my time. Honestly one of the more frustrating software assessments because it was a large commitment and didn't make a whole lot of sense in terms of assessing a candidate abilities.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Lots of unrelated math questions (Find next number in series), random logic riddles, random mathematics calculations. Coding section was easy (Basic leetcode questions). They have a custom coding section to assess how quick you learn things, this was easily the worst portion, it is the most unintuitive programming language.
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.
