I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Sep 2011
Interview
I was initially contacted by an Epic Recruiter, who asked me to apply online for the software engineer position. The day after I applied I was asked to complete an online personality/IQ test which took about 40 minutes. After a couple of days they asked me to provide with some dates on which I will be available for my phone screening. It took about a week to set it up. I was asked very basic question regarding my resume, its just an overview of your resume as its mentioned in many of the posts. The interviewer also gave me a brief information about the work culture in Epic and the job description.
After a week I got a reply that they want me to give a remote assessment test in my university. It took a week to set it up, It consisted of a programming test with 5 questions and a skills assessment test where there will be some instructions and you need to read them and answer the questions.
Its result took about 2 weeks, I was notified that I am selected for the next and final round of onsite interview.
it took the ma week to send me the tickets and hotel information.
I reached madison and had dinner with an Epic representative, she showed us around the city and told us the work culture in Epic.
The next day began with the campus tour, which was the best part of the trip. The campus was huge and the building's themes were awesome. We moved on to the software demo then and a conversation with a software developer followed it. Then I had my presentation (one of my previous projects) they asked me previously to come prepared with that. Then I had a lunch with other employee and finally the HR interview. At the end I had a 20 minute skills test too.
I heard from them after 10 days, that they want to extend an offer to me.
I too accepted the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what would you do if 4 of your team members are against your decision?
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.
