I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Sep 2017
Interview
I applied at a career fair at my university. I got an email really soon after that asking to set up a phone interview, and set up a time to do a skills test. The phone interview was super casual, basically just going over my resume. The skills test was 3 parts, and the coding part was really difficult. They don't let you use any references, even things that are publicly available. You also can't compile and run your code, so you just have to wing it and hope it works. Plus they have you hooked up to an actual human proctor the whole time, which was weird. You have to show the proctor around the room you're in, and you can't have anybody in the room with you AT ALL during the test. I had to kick my husband out of our apartment for almost 4 hours last second, because they don't tell you that that's a rule you have to abide by until you're actually talking to the proctor. Haven't heard back about doing an onsite interview yet, but I can update this if I get accepted for that or rejected.

Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Epic
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.
