Real, anonymous reports from people who interviewed for Software Engineer at EPIC Health, newest first and distilled into what to expect across the loop.
I started with an online application, and it quickly turned into an automated-feeling online assessment before I even spoke to someone. After that, I had a recruiter-style phone interview where the focus was mostly practical logistics and my resume. The recruiter didn’t really get into deep technical probing—there was a lot of “what’s on your background” and logistics, and I remember feeling like the call was meant to confirm fit and timing more than evaluate engineering depth.
The process I went through kicked off with a virtual interview followed by an online assessment that blended coding and math-style questions. After that, I got pulled into a more involved final round with a technical conversation, and it was paired with extra information sessions that felt like they were meant to set expectations about the role and life at Epic.
The online assessment is a significant part of the process, often combining coding, logic, and math questions, and is considered the primary filter for candidates. Many candidates found the assessments to be lengthy and mentally exhausting, with a mix of straightforward and challenging questions.
The initial recruiter conversation typically focuses on fit, logistics, and background rather than deep technical evaluation, serving as a preliminary alignment check before moving to more technical assessments.
Following the initial stages, candidates often experience a technical screen that includes coding questions and discussions about past projects, which can vary in difficulty but generally maintain a friendly atmosphere.
Behavioral interviews are common in later stages, focusing on communication skills, problem-solving under pressure, and alignment with company values, often mixed with technical discussions.
The interview process is structured and can feel deliberate, with a clear progression from assessments to interviews, although some candidates noted that the pacing can be intense and demanding.
Candidates frequently mentioned the challenges posed by proctoring during assessments, which added pressure and complexity to the evaluation process, making it feel more demanding than the content itself.
