I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Verona, WI) in May 2015
Interview
Initial 30 minute phone interview in which they ask about your resume, experience, typical HR questions like "where do you see yourself in 5 years?". Generally a pretty casual talk.
Shortly after that I was an online assessment. This had 4 sections (1 time limited, and 3 others not time limited but graded on time and accuracy): math (time limited), math (unlimited time), basic programming (unlimited), open-ended programming (unlimited). The math sections where basic algebra questions, the unlimited time one focusing more on reading comprehension with a couple of riddle questions. The basic programming section requires no previous coding experience, mostly just logic questions. The open-ended questions ask you to write some functions to solve a particular problem.
After the online assessment was the on-site interview. For this they brought me in the day before the actual interview and a software developer took me out to dinner with a few other candidates. The dinner was casual and mostly an opportunity for us to ask about the company and the Madison area in general. The next day was the rest of the interview. This started with a talk from a software developer giving basic introduction to the company and the software they work on. Following that was a casual conversation with a software developer about what specifically they work on, life at Epic, and any questions we might have about the position. After that was a one on one case study with a software developer where they ask you to talk through a problem with them to a solution. They are looking at your thought process and problem solving skills here. This was followed with an informal lunch with a software developer and a tour of the campus. Then there was one on one interview with another developer in which you are asked to talk about a project. This is not a formal presentation, but meant to be more of a conversation. They will ask you questions about why you made certain choices and what you would do differently if you did it again, etc... Finally the day wrapped-up with an interview with the HR contact.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a software project you have worked on
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.
