Unnecessary four-hour math test and personality test. Really shows how much of a number you will be and not a human being. It ended up being fine, because I got a position at a different place after this. Maybe Epic just wasn't a good culture fit for me,
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Jan 2022
Interview
Typical 30 minute phone screen, but the assessment seems overkill. The assessment is proctored and my proctor didn't even show up until 20 minutes later, right before I almost left the session. In terms of the assessment itself, there are 4 sections:
1 - Math and Brain Teaser Round: This round involves 2 minutes of solving math problems and I think a few brain teasers as well. Very difficult to get all of the problems done I'd imagine.
2 - SAT Math - 45-60 minutes of SAT style math questions. I think there were like 13 questions total, but there were also some brain teasers involved.
3 - Learn a new language: Personally I think this section was fine.
4 - Leetcode style problems: You're given 4 problems and are to code in a text editor. No syntax highlighting or running the code is allowed, so you better hope your code runs perfectly.
I would have rated overall experience neutral if the proctor had shown up on time or at least not 20 minutes late. The phone interview was quite positive and I had a good time talking with the software engineer, but the assessment definitely brings down the experience due to its length, difficulty, and unnecessary use of brain teasers.

Question 1
Phone interview: Standard questions like experience and why are you interested in Epic.
Assessment: A person buys 1 apple for 5 cents and sells it for 3 cents. After a while, he becomes a millionaire. How does he do this?

Interview
An ~4 hour tech OA was given with a coding section, technical learning section, math section, and rapid-fire speed section where you had two minutes to answer relatively simple math questions. Their normal platform didn't work for me, so I ended up having to spend an additional hour connecting and getting set up with a real proctor who barely spoke English.

Question 1
The coding section consisted of a pretty standard set of 4 Leetcode-like questions. One easy-ish, two medium, and one hard-ish.
