Process
First, there was a phone call. The interviewer asks you about your experience and projects. Basic resume stuff. They follow up with an email informing you about the test. The whole scheduling process was very quick. Since the exam is through ProctorU, you can choose any time. I am done with the exam and awaiting the result.
Questions
They asked basic math problems involving proportionality and guessing the next number in a series. The speed test tests your quick thinking. The programming questions were hard. I can't really tell the question because of the NDA, but it would be better if you go through matrix, arrays, and data structures.

Picking the wrong hills to die on
Software Developer • Current Employee
August 4, 2020
Pros: Good R&D experience across the whole development life cycle. Generally working with capable and motivated co-workers. Excellent benefits.
Cons: Ungodly amounts of process and bureaucracy that stifle innovation.
Leadership is increasingly digging their heels in on company "culture" at the expense of employee productivity and safety.

Engaging work in a unique place
Software Developer • Current Employee
Madison, Wisconsin, United States
May 3, 2019
Pros: After just a few months of training, you very quickly get trusted with great responsibilities, which is a bit stressful at times but also highly rewarding. The work is meaningful and challenging; you get to own projects from start to finish, and you get to work on the full stack.
You get to interact with sharp and friendly co-workers: developers, designers, and QA.
The environment is both professional (people are respectful and focused on work) and chill (no dress code, crazy art everywhere, friendly atmosphere).
Even though it's a big company with many products, you can see the impact of your own work in the finished products.
The campus is absolutely fantastic. Everyone I've brought to visit has been completely blown away, and for good reasons.
The food is really truly awesome.
The pay is great given the cost of living in Madison, and the benefits are very good too.
The culture of "doing good" is sincere, and being a privately owned company allows Epic to focus on the long-term vision rather than the quick profits.
The work-life balance is perfectly reasonable: I leave at 5:30 p.m. every day, in time to have dinner, play with, and put my kids to bed. People who complain about work-life balance on Glassdoor are typically not developers.
Cons: The tech stack is non-standard (esoteric database, proprietary web framework, custom build tools), so many skills are not easily transferable. However, the programming languages (C#, TypeScript) and other essential skills like project planning, architecture, design, code review, and accessibility are.
