I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic Games (Raleigh, NC)
Interview
Applied via LinkedIn. 30 minute phone screen with HR. Then a video conference with 2 engineers from the team. Then a take home coding test. This had 2 straight up programming questions, one design question, and one puzzle question.
After passing the take home test, (they took a couple of weeks to get back to me) I had an all-day on-site interview. I was interviewed by sets of 2 people for 45 minutes each. There was a break for lunch, but that was really kind of part of the interview, too. There were 2 interview sessions that involved whiteboard coding and design tests. These seemed fair and non adversarial.
The offer came 3 days after the on-site interview.
Had a screening interview and matched all qualifications except aws experence. Felt the interview was a little rushed but overall ok. It is a really compeditive company so going to see if I can get some experence in this area and try again.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Epic Games (Raleigh, NC) in Feb 2021
Interview
A tech test followed by a day of panels. There are a lot of panels, but they restrict their own questioning to a time so that there is plenty of time for my questsions. There was also a hard stop to make sure there's time for me to get a breather between panels. I forget how much, but I think it was 15-10 mins, whichever it was it felt great!

Question 1
How can we reduce the amount of data being sent between client and server?
I was given take home coding project which was time consuming but very easy. I spent approx day on project. After I submitted my solutions got one line reply that not moving forward. No feedback . I was pretty confident of my solutions as they were damn easy and I can easily test those.
So I sent email asking for detailed feedback after rejection and mentioned that I atleast deserve feedback as I have spent whole day of assignment. But no feedback was provided.
Dont waste time for this company.
