I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Dec 2011
Interview
First is a phone interview, about 30 mins. Pretty easy, no technical question.
Second is the skill test assessment, taken in local school. Some questions on Math, IQ, New language and four programming questions.
The last one is on-site one. meet three software engineers and one hr person.
people are very nice and campus is very nice, too.
one thing I don't like is the weather, so cold on December. I think people from southern california might have a
tough time in madison.
two weeks after the on-site, receive a call of rejection and no reason for the rejection.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Something about min-max algorithm with alpah-beta pruning.
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.
