I was contacted by an Epic recruiter on LinkedIn. After showing interest, I had a Zoom meeting with the recruiter. The conversation was a pleasant chat where they also explained the interview process.

The next step was a meeting with the hiring managers. This was also a Zoom chat between two managers and myself. We spent most of the time going through my experience. At some point, they asked me a few design questions around an open-source project that I'm working on. It's a plus that they spent the time to actually look at my GitHub project and come up with a few questions.

In the next phase, they gave me a relatively easy programming test without a time limit. The algorithms had to be perfect because the answers would run through some automated test suite.

After passing the test, they contacted me and told me that the next phase would be some sort of interview by a panel of people. Unfortunately, at some point down the line, they called it off with the justification that they had second thoughts about the role and now wanted a different skillset.

To be honest, I wasn't happy with the change of heart. I spent quite some time preparing and also declined a few interesting opportunities in order to focus on this one.
