I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Jan 2011
Interview
During the last year or so I had received several emails from Epic hr people in which they encouraged me to apply at Epic. In each case I contacted the hr person for a job description which they would never give me. The answer was always 'something in software engineering'. Because they apparently never knew any specifics about the position I never applied.
In December 2010 I received an email with 'one final chance to apply at Epic' so I applied anyway. I submitted my resume through their website and received an anonymous response from hr to take a 'Rembrandt skill/personality test'. This is really a test to filter out the really unsmart people with very simple personality and logic questions. Apparently I passed the test because I received an email a few days later that someone from Epic would contact me in a few weeks to continue the application procedure.
After that, I never heard from them again.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If one-third of n is 2, how much is n divided by 2? (really)
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.
