The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Oct 2009
Interview
The interview was smooth. The phone interview screen appears to evaluate how much you know about the company work environment (which is apparently very cult like, an inside joke is "don't drink the Kool-Aid") and pay expectations. They want to make sure you are going to be hard working, willing to travel often, and not be frightened of their unheard of MUMPS/Cache database. The skills assessment involves about 5 short programming quizzes which takes 1-2 hours.
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.
