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.

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 The whole thing feels outdated, paranoid, and lowkey disrespectful of candidates’ time and privacy.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.
