I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Feb 2020
Interview
Brief 30-minute phone conversation asking about why you want to work there and why you are interested in software development. Then a long online assessment with programming questions and general logic questions. Kinda tiring, but not extremely difficult. Very fast and responsive hr rep.

Interview
Got an email asking to schedule a phone interview right after I applied. Phone interview was talking with a senior developer about your resume, going in depth about the projects you've done and the challenges you faced in these projects. Interviewer was nice and talked about Epic and what they do as a company afterwards.
Next part was a 3 and a half hour assessment where you are proctored through your webcam by another person. You must share your screen and webcam and keep your laptop microphone unmuted at all times. Honestly, it's uncomfortable installing software to allow someone to look through your webcam. Other companies allow you to take Hackerrank challenges without invading your privacy. Don't see why Epic has to try and be different.
The test was 3 parts. First part was a 2 minute timed session where you solve SAT style questions. Part 2 gave you a made up language and examples of how the syntax worked. Questions asked you to give the correct output based on the code given. Some questions are tricky and I felt that some of the examples given weren't enough information to answer the question.
Part 3 was 4 programming questions that ask you to implement something. Questions such as implement a keypad that allows for a faulty key input or convert hex values into the color they represent. You're allowed to pick any language but the text editor is very basic with not much syntax highlighting so I suggest you know your syntax. Recommend practicing how to parse strings and arrays efficiently. Received an email a week later stating I was not picked for an on-site.

Question 1
Implement a keypad with numbers 0-9 that takes into account a faulty key. Example: Passcode is "18684". Allowed inputs include "8684", "164", "1884" and "1868".
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic
Interview
A personality test that asks you questions like select certain attributes that most fit you, analogy questions to show how you think, and simple math questions. Then a lengthy proctored skills exam testing you on subjects like math, english, and programming. Then a phone interview that goes over your resume and they ask questions about that. Finally an on-sit interview
