I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Dec 2009
Interview
First they set up a Phone interview for collecting details and answering questions. The skills test is then to be taken in a place of their choosing in your city. If selected you get called on site where you do 2 more assesments(1 math and 1 coding) and a HR interview. You also have to present one of your projects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In a security keypad, one of the keys is malfunctioning. Design an algorithm that permits one key of the keypad to behave erroneously(either the key registers once per press or multiple times or doesn't register when pressing)
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.
