I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Aug 2014
Interview
There was an initial phone screen that lasted about thrity minutes. We discussed past projects and I was given a couple design questions. Next was a three hour proctored online exam, some sections were harder than others but overall it wasn't too difficult (but it did contain a lot of trick questions). The last step is an onsite interview, this was very easy, more of a tour of the campus than an interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A man is remodeling his house and relizes he needs something else. He goes to the hardware store and asks the clerk for the price of what he wants. The clerk says each one is $1, the man says ok I need 600 so here is $3. What dod the man buy?
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?
[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.
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.
