The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Feb 2012
Interview
First phone interview by a recruiter, check background, like GRE scores and GPA, then after 2 weeks, got an assessment invitation in some center of assessment. I chose one in atlanta. It includes 3 sections, first is math, then second part is to learn a new language and understand it. For example, it will define some operators, then ask you what is the output.
Final part are 4 coding test.
<change test to another language?
just rep lance some token, like i u e a .. to a^hat..
first 3 neglect, start from the end for up to 4 tokens>
<clockwise matrix output>
<hacker, length of pwd known, ascending digits. Print all the possible pwd)
<decide whether it is colorful number:
all substrings of int in a array, and multiple their digits, false if having two same resutls>
Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Epic
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.
