Question 1
Programming round in written test was hard to crack
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Epic in Jul 2011
Interview
First of all, you need to pass a personality test which is similar to a SAT. I think it is quite easy but one of my friends just failed. After that, some hiring staff will call you and ask some routine questions. For example, how many hours did you spend on programming each week, and what's your grade of GRE or GPA... Then I went to a local library to take a skill test. The first part is logical questions about their internal used syntax/language, which is not difficult. The second part is 4 programming questions. All of them are String operations. You can use any language you feel comfortable.

For some reasons, I didn't have to take the local programming test like most people had to.
Credentials: PhD, involved in multiple open source projects.

2) Phone interview - A software developer called and discussed prior experience listed on my resume. Nothing technical. I explained what programming experience I had in the past, including a list of open source projects I was involved in.
3) Rembrandt test - basic math and personality-type questions.
4) Onsite interview - very standard and very well explained by other candidates here.
