I applied through university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Nov 2018
Interview
Step 1 - Phone interview with a technical employee. Talked about previous internships and personal projects. The phone call was probably 20 minutes or so.
Step 2 - Online Skills Assessment. I would say the online test was appropriate. There were 3 or 4 programming questions for me to answer. There was not a time limit, but the instructions said time was a factor, so don't spend forever on things. There was one programming question that I know I didn't answer correctly, and I made it through to the next round, so don't be discouraged if you don't know a perfect solution right away.
Step 3 - In person visit. I'm not calling this an interview day because I only spent 45 minutes of my day talking about technical things - and that was just me talking about a personal project with a software engineer. Other than that, the day was mostly "fluff." We got to see their incredible campus and eat from their awesome cafeteria (seriously good food). In the morning, there was an introduction presentation where around 8-10 candidates were told more about what Epic is all about as a company and a demo of some of their software. There was also a small group meeting (3-4 candidates) where an employee was trying to learn more about what we were interested in and answering any questions we had.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a program to make the best possible move in a game of checkers (or something along those lines).
Phone screen that was pretty easy, just about myself and previous experience.
Technical screening that was 2-3 hours online and proctored by third party service that was a pain to set up and work with. Makes you download an application that has way too many priviliges.

Tell me about a problem you had and how you overcame it.
I applied online. I interviewed at Epic (Wisconsin, KY) in Jan 2026
Interview
Epic Systems’ hiring process is genuinely ridiculous.
They make you take this Sphinx test — there are 4 programming questions leetcode style, which is fine. That’s literally what the job is. Cool.
But then they completely lose the plot.
They add three extra sections that have absolutely nothing to do with the job. A 2-minute timed section that’s just stress for no reason, a random math section, and these weird abstract “conceptual” questions that feel like they’re trying to measure your soul instead of your skills. None of it reflects anything you’d actually be doing day-to-day. It’s just pointless hoops.
AND THEN — on top of all that — they make you download the Honorlock extension AND a whole desktop app, take photos of your government ID, and basically let them spy on your computer like you’re taking the SAT again. For a job application. That is insanely invasive and completely unnecessary.
The whole thing feels outdated, paranoid, and lowkey disrespectful of candidates’ time and privacy. If this is how Epic evaluates people, that’s a massive red flag. Hard pass.

Question 1
Generating all additive numbers, finding a password given k digits with strictly increasing i.e. for k=3 the lowest could be 123 and highest could be 789 but you have to generate all in between too where k0,k1,k2 strictly increasing, something to do with RGB values and you're given conditionals to evauluate what color it would be, last question was given string split into words and then for each word thats even and at least length 3 split word evenly by space but don't consider non-alpha-numeric characters
