The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening, followed by a hiring manager interview and several rounds with cross-functional team members. The discussions focused on my product design experience, design thinking process, collaboration with engineers and product managers, and portfolio case studies. I was also asked to explain how I approach ambiguous problems and measure the impact of my work. The process was professional and well-structured, and communication was timely throughout.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I walked through a recent project from problem discovery to launch. I explained how I conducted user research, identified key pain points, explored design concepts, collaborated with engineers, and validated solutions through testing. I also shared measurable outcomes and reflected on lessons learned during the project.
Not invested in who they're hiring if they rely heavily on multiple assessments for applicants to take (personality quiz, etc). These are unpaid and take hours. A poor use of time.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Nov 2025
Interview
Initial screening is a 4 hour long “skills assessment” consisting of 4 different sections, each are timed. There was also an initial information session, which was more of a presentation than a proper interview.

Question 1
The skills assessment felt very similar to an IQ test. The first two sections of the assessment were IQ style questions, the third section was over a made up programming language, and the last section was two programming problems.
