I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Jul 2024
Interview
Assessment (4 hours) and phone interview (30 minutes). Very professional process, and seamless. Assessment included 4 sections of a two minute speed logic section, a math section with no time limit, a programming section with 4 coding questions in any programming language you'd like and another logic section where they'd teach you a new rules of a programming language/syntax and ask you about the outcome of certain expressions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One of the coding questions (paraphrasing) : a company wants you to write a function that will output all possible phone numbers of a certain length. They want to reduce confusion, and eliminate all phone numbers with duplicate digits next to each other (for example 0232 is acceptable, but 0223 is not.) The company also wants the option to possibly eliminate up to three numbers from the phone numbers as well. Another rule is that the phone numbers that contain any 4 must start with a 4 as well.
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?
[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.
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.
