Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Spoke with a recruiter at our college career fair. The person I talked to instructed me to apply online, which I did. I then received an email asking to schedule an over-the-phone interview.

The phone interview was very basic. It lasted about 30 minutes, and I was asked about my previous projects, why I wanted to work at Epic, how much experience I had, and where I saw myself in 5 years.

After the phone interview, I scheduled an online technical skills test through ProctorU. The technical interview was made of three parts and was long and tedious.

  • The first part consisted of a short math section.
  • The second was learning a new language and then answering questions based off of this made-up language. These were not bad, and you can't really study for them.
  • The last section was a coding section made up of four questions that you could answer in your language of choice. You couldn't compile and you couldn't use an API, so it was super indicative of the actual coding you would be doing for them (not).

The questions were medium difficulty. Just make sure you understand string parsing and map manipulation.

Questions

Word search in an n x n grid in any orientation (including diagonals, left to right, bottom to top, etc.).

Deciding if a number was colorful.

Most common character in a string switched with the least common character in the string.

Raffle contest in which you had to take out duplicated entries.
