J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Epic en juin 2015
Entretien
First Round: A recruiter schedules a telephonic interview with one of the team members. Its a 30 minutes interview with focus on resume and work experience. I was given a scenario and had to say which data structure should be used and why. Some technical algorithm, data structure questions.
Second Round: Coding Assessment
Unlike others I had a 2 section test. First section was technical learning which had a new language and 20 questions based on it. Second section was programming where I had 4 questions. (Questions are given below)
Before the test I had asked if there is a time limit and I was told no, but when I was doing my last question I got a pop up window saying, "you have last 15 minutes before this test ends". That was strange and surprising.
I'm still waiting on the result of the test.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
1) Form number triangle
Given 5 -3 7 8 output should be
5 -3 7 8
2 4 15
6 19
25
2) SMS problem
3) A company wants to give its employees a valid phone number. Find all possible numbers given conditions;
- no two numbers are consecutive ie 0232 is valid but 0223 is not
- if there is a 4 in the number then the first digit should also be 4
- there are 3 excluded numbers which shouldn't be in the result but the company has not yet decided which these numbers are going to be
4) Snake sequence

Entretien
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.
Questions d'entretien [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.
