The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Jun 2010
Interview
I received a call from Epic after applying on their website, I applied a couple of months ago. I received an email from the HR saying they were interested. I replied to them and in about 4 days after my response we started with the entire process.
The first part is a personality test (third party portal: Rembrandt). The personality test consists of some [very] simple mathematical questions along with some situational\personality questions like "Do you like to work in a team?" etc. There are no right or wrong answers
After two days, I received an email from the HR saying they would like to set-up a phone interview and gave me a preference of dates. I immediately confirmed a date (which was 4 later). The phone interview lasted for about 20 minutes. The person on the other end was a software developer. The interview's purpose was to know me better and get more details out from my resume. We discussed about my prior experiences and he asked other standard questions that everyone else has mentioned (Five years from now?).
Overall things have been pretty smooth so far, two days after the phone interview the HR contacted me and invited me to Madison. I am scheduled for an on-site interview next week. Will post more about it after I am done.
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.
