Got an email asking to schedule a phone interview right after I applied. The phone interview was talking with a senior developer about your resume, going in depth about the projects you've done and the challenges you faced in these projects. The interviewer was nice and talked about Epic and what they do as a company afterwards.

Next was a 3 and a half hour assessment where you are proctored through your webcam by another person. You must share your screen and webcam and keep your laptop microphone unmuted at all times. Honestly, it's uncomfortable installing software to allow someone to look through your webcam. Other companies allow you to take Hackerrank challenges without invading your privacy. I don't see why Epic has to try and be different.

The test had 3 parts.

• The first part was a 2 minute timed session where you solve SAT style questions.
• Part 2 gave you a made-up language and examples of how the syntax worked. Questions asked you to give the correct output based on the code given. Some questions are tricky, and I felt that some of the examples given weren't enough information to answer the question.
• Part 3 was 4 programming questions that ask you to implement something. Questions such as implementing a keypad that allows for faulty key input or converting hex values into the color they represent. You're allowed to pick any language, but the text editor is very basic with not much syntax highlighting, so I suggest you know your syntax. Recommend practicing how to parse strings and arrays efficiently.

Received an email a week later stating I was not picked for an on-site.

Implement a keypad with numbers 0-9 that takes into account a faulty key. Example: Passcode is "18684". Allowed inputs include "8684", "164", "1884", and "1868".

Given string "(RR,BB,GG)", where RR, GG, and BB are hex values, parse the string and convert the hex values into the colors they represent.
