Software Developer Interview Experience - Madison, Wisconsin

September 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Contacted by recruiter to apply.

  1. Phone Interview with engineer. He talked a bit about what Epic does and how the company uses MUMPS as its primary language. He asked me behavioral questions and detailed questions about my projects on my resume. He also gave me some time to ask him questions about the company. After the phone call, he told me that I would receive an update in about a week.

  2. Technical Assessment. This was literally the longest and most ridiculous coding assessment I've ever had in my life. The first section was a timed math quiz. The second section involved them giving you a new language and answering multiple-choice questions about what you learned from the documentation. The third section had four coding questions of medium-hard difficulty with no methods to check your code. The entire time, some random person monitored you through your webcam and mic, so you couldn't check documentation or syntax via Google. Honestly, I gave up towards the end because it was not worth it.
