I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Jun 2025
Interview
Pre assessment was long but not hard, interesting test on language concepts and some typical coding questions
Phone interview asked typical questions like what projects I'm interested in, what challenges I've faced in them, what about epic stands out to you, etc. Interviewer was pretty nice, overall good experience
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What interests you at epic, what would you like to work on
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.
