Software Developer Interview Experience - Tulsa, Oklahoma
October 1, 2015
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
First, you have a phone interview where someone will ask you about your resume, interests, and whether you are willing to relocate.
There's a strange service called ProctorU which basically monitors your every movement during the test. Not the most comforting test environment.
I didn't make it to the onsite interview, but I imagine that the questions are more knowledge-based than they were on the test.
Questions
They ask a lot of string manipulation questions. CS majors have to write code in Java or C/C++.
Other majors can use VB, Python, or even pseudocode.

Great Mentorship, Tricky Communication
Software Developer • Current Employee

Pros: The interns actually get to have a say in their project design, which is nice. Everyone gets a sizable office to share with one other intern, too. Each team of 2-4 interns has its own mentor for advice, which is also a plus. The pay is nice, too, and there are a lot of intern activities outside of work hours.
Cons: My specific project was a case of the team lead having an idea in mind and not communicating it well. The training could be better; there are plenty of internal manuals you can find, but you've got to hunt for them a bit.

Great first job, but a worse place to continue
Software Developer • Current Employee

Pros: - Pay is good.
- Madison is cheap.
- Great campus.
- Health care industry.
- Smart co-workers, with epic hires from the best universities.
Cons: - Poor work-life balance. Expect to work a minimum of 50 hours per week.
- The technology used is outdated. The client-side is VB and the server-side is Chronicles.
- You will have to code in M language. No one I know uses this language anymore, so you won't be able to market this skill. This is not even Cache. Cache has so many features, and Epic doesn't use any of them.
- Epic has been saying that they will be migrating to .NET for a while now. Not all the code will be migrated to .NET; only some apps.
- Epic sends its employees on-site, and that time is not counted. You are still expected to finish your work even when you are traveling.
- In Epic, you don't know what your TL is thinking about you; everything is so secret. You don't get enough feedback from your TL.
- Some of the TLs lack people skills. They just want to get work done. They don't know how to respect their team members. I have seen some good people leave just because they hated their TLs.
- Lack of communication between team members at a personal level. Everyone sits in their own rooms, and the only interaction they have among themselves is when you have a question related to work or during meetings.
- Everything you do as a developer is measured. Lot of micromanagement.
- Some get promoted to TL soon, within 2 years. I don't know the criteria. TL decides your career/future. If you don't become a TL within 2 years, forget about becoming a TL.
