Software Developer Interview Experience - Madison, Wisconsin

Process

After applying online, they contacted me via phone.

First, I went through a couple of phone interviews, where they explained how Epic works and asked me the usual interview questions (projects I worked on, best and worst qualities, plus some very basic programming questions).

A couple of days later, they called me to schedule a time to take a monitored online skill test. The test was pretty long (2-4 hours) and had 4 parts.

  • The first one consisted of 10 basic math questions I had to answer in 2 minutes (I answered 7-8).
  • A second math part, with no time limit.
  • A programming part, with 3 programming problems, similar to programming competition ones.
  • One last part where they explain a fictional programming language and you have to solve several questions about it.

Not extremely hard, but kind of tricky sometimes.

A week later, they called me and flew me to Madison for the in-person interview. I had to give a 20-minute presentation about a project I had worked on to an engineer.

Finally, an HR interview where they asked me how much I would like to earn.

They called to offer me the job about 3-4 days later. The salary they offered was above the salary range I told them.

Questions

The fictional language test is pretty tricky. It is important to pay attention to the details!
