I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Mar 2015
Interview
I first had a phone screen where I talked about my experience and projects, and could ask questions about the company. After that was an online technical interview with a third party company specializing in this. I was tested on speed, basic math, technical learning and programming. The whole process is very impersonal and it seems as if all the parts are completely disconnected and automated; the person who first emailed me, the person doing the phone screen, and all the people involved in the technical interview knew nothing of me, or why I was being interviewed. Haven't received a reply yet but I'm partial to accepting any offer if given.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given a square grid labelled (0, 0) to (n, n), and a robot at (0, 0). You want to get the robot to (n, n) and you know there may be obstacles on the grid. You can check whether any grid tile is an obstacle or not. How do you do it?
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.

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.
