I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied online through their careers portal. I was contacted by their recruiter the next day itself and was scheduled an interview with one of their software developers. In the mean time they also asked me to give their candidate evaluation test. The first interview was just fine with a mix of HR and technical questions. Except the programming questions the technical test was very easy. You can go through the list of questions on career cup and just do fine in the test.
I got a call from the recruiter that I have been selected for the on-site interviews. The pay for the accommodation, cab fares, flights and dinners with their employees. There were just two on-site technical interviews. One was a case study on some technical problem that they might have faced or are facing. The second interview was discussion of any one project done in school. My first interview went very well as the interviewer was very friendly and we were kind of finding the solution together. The second interviewer was rude. He picked up his cellphone once during the interview. Also, while discussing the project he was mocking me for my solution instead of asking questions.
Then at the end there was a discussion with my interviewer regarding salary that I would want and relocation etc. It was a good interview process except that the second on-site interview went bad for me. I have heard that they pay really well.
Other Software Developer 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.
