I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Oct 2019
Interview
Straightforward. Applied online. Got a chill phone interview then like the others said an coding assignmnet that took 3 hours. There were 3 parts. In part one you had 10 minutes to answer as many questions as you could, basic math and stuff. In part two it was a multiple choice test about a language they made up and you had to answer correctly based on the info about the language, kind of tricky towards the middle. The last part was 4 coding challenges, two of them where tough. Was ghosted after
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) Given two arrays of numbers, Ex [1,2,3,4,5] and [3,7,9,3]. Add them together and then output their sum but also as an array.
2) Given two strings where string 2 can be made by rearranging the strings in string 1, but you can only swap letters next to each other. Print out the entire process of transforming string 1 to string 2
Ex. GUM and MUG
-UGM
-UMG
-MUG
3) A "forgot the term they used" is a string where the letters appear in ascending order strictly and can be lower or upper case. Ex "abcdef", "aBcrsT",... but "aaB" doesnt count. Given the length of the string, print out all possible "insert proper name of term here"
4) Find and replace all "a"s in a string with "the" and "A" with "The"
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.
