Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

Epic Systems’ hiring process is genuinely ridiculous. They make you take this Sphinx test — there are 4 programming questions leetcode style, which is fine. That’s literally what the job is. Cool. But then they completely lose the plot. They add three extra sections that have absolutely nothing to do with the job:

  • A 2-minute timed section that’s just stress for no reason
  • A random math section
  • These weird abstract “conceptual” questions that feel like they’re trying to measure your soul instead of your skills

None of it reflects anything you’d actually be doing day-to-day. It’s just pointless hoops.

AND THEN — on top of all that — they make you download the Honorlock extension AND a whole desktop app, take photos of your government ID, and basically let them spy on your computer like you’re taking the SAT again. For a job application. That is insanely invasive and completely unnecessary.

The whole thing feels outdated, paranoid, and lowkey disrespectful of candidates’ time and privacy. If this is how Epic evaluates people, that’s a massive red flag. Hard pass.

Questions

Generating all additive numbers, finding a password given $k$ digits with strictly increasing (i.e. for $k=3$ the lowest could be 123 and highest could be 789, but you have to generate all in between too where $k_0, k_1, k_2$ are strictly increasing), something to do with RGB values and you're given conditionals to evaluate what color it would be. The last question was: given a string split into words, and then for each word that's even and at least length 3, split the word evenly by space, but don't consider non-alphanumeric characters.
