I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Epic (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2017
Interview
First got scheduled for a phone interview. Took around 45 minutes. They ask you about yourself and why you applied, whether you like front end or back end dev and why, and some things about your resume. Also ask you to talk about a big project you worked on. They then ask a simple technical question (reverse a string both using recursion and no recursion and what the advantages of each are).
They also schedule you for this personality test which is one of the weirdest online tests I've taken, there really is nothing you can do to prepare for it.
They also schedule you for an online technical assessment using one of the procturu websites. You need a webcam and you go through 3 different types of questions, one of them being technical coding even though it says non technical assessment. Kind of sucks there.
They emailed a week later saying I didn't get the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Reverse a string.
For the online questions, they were kind of weird but nothing too bad, I just couldn't remember a lot of the syntax because it said non technical and the only options for languages I could use I didn't remember all that well.
Medium level leetcode and then a very basic system design question as a final round interview. Overall, smooth and simple process. Only one technical and it was the first one.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you design a system to minimize wait time at a health care center?
First round is a thirty minute phone call with one of their developers. The other part of the first round is a three hour exam with IQ test style logic questions and coding questions.
[OA] OA was fair. Programming part are leetcode easy and easy-mediums, straightforward simulation, backtracking, dfs, strings, etc. No DP/graphs but ymmv.
[Final interview] (Case Study) I think the interviewer came up with their own prompt. It's mostly discussion-based, with a virtual white board. It's not too technical. I'm guessing its testing your communication/logical reasoning than system design skills. (Pair programming) 1 question, same format as the OA on the same platform, leetcode easy.
[Overall] Technical difficulty isn't bad. Interviewers who are current software devs seemed friendly. Had a good experience, yet got rejected.
