Interview
I submitted my resume to epic on campus career fair. At the end of that day, I received an email telling me to take a technical interview on the next day. There are four kinds of question:
1. quick answer: There are two metrics here: speed and accuracy. You need to answer 10 questions in 2 minutes. They are related to word meaning, such as giving a word, find the most accuracy meaning in 4 options. Math is another important aspect, simple mathematic operation.
2. A huge problem related to compiler and programming language. Giving you a simplified totally new programming language, ask you a few questions such as names of variables.
3. 10 questions about math, such as find the correct next number following a sequence.
4. 4 simple programming questions. Coding in a editor provided by epic. I can't remember detailed questions. But they are easy, no complex data structure or algorithm are needed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Quick answer questions. I haven't practiced answering questions quickly and correctly.
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.
