I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Sep 2021
Interview
The process was easy to follow. There were some skill assessments that took a couple of hours, that you do on the spot sent by email and they had mentioned it is not something you prepare for. The person who had the phone call with me was very pleasant, asked great questions, we spoke about the company, the role day-to-days and culture.

Question 1
How did you get into UX Design?
What do you know about Epic?
Can you tell me about this role?
Are you comfortable with travel?
The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening, followed by a hiring manager interview and several rounds with cross-functional team members. The discussions focused on my product design experience, design thinking process, collaboration with engineers and product managers, and portfolio case studies. I was also asked to explain how I approach ambiguous problems and measure the impact of my work. The process was professional and well-structured, and communication was timely throughout.

Question 1
I walked through a recent project from problem discovery to launch. I explained how I conducted user research, identified key pain points, explored design concepts, collaborated with engineers, and validated solutions through testing. I also shared measurable outcomes and reflected on lessons learned during the project.
Got to the phone call interview stage.
Along with the phone call, I had to complete a virtual skills assessment that testing math and problem-solving skills (applying layered logic from a fake coding language).
Received an initial call about the position, finished a couple of assessments, completed a take home design exercise, and in the process of the final 4hr interview. The design exercise is given with a prompt in which you must fulfill the requirements in 5 hours or less. You have a week to finish the exercise, but for the most part, it was pretty fun.
