The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in May 2011
Interview
I applied to epic through career service. Initially got a mail to fill out Rembrandt profile which was a quick test based on your IQ. very generic. Got a mail couple of days after to schedule a phone interview, again very generic, resume based questions and your interest to work in epic.
Next phase was an assessment round in my University which was programming round with 5 questions timed for 2 hours. After a week got a mail regarding onsite interview and took a while to get the dates fixed. Drove to Madison and stayed in Concourse hotel. Had a nice walking tour around Madison and gained some insights about the company as well as their working culture.
Next day, had a jam packed schedule till 3 in the afternoon with software demonstration, company overview, lunch with an employee and a presentation round ( had to present one of my projects ) and few assessment tests ( math and programming ) and finally HR interview. thats pretty much about the interview phase. It wasn't difficult, never felt I was in a interview, things went casually. All the best guys!! Epic seems to be doing a lot things and its a fun environment too...
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Where do you see yourself five years down the lane?
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.
