Epic Ux Designer Interview Questions
& Process

So I had this initial call about the job. Then I had a couple of assessments to do, and then a take-home design challenge. I'm currently in the process of the final 4-hour interview. The design exercise came with a prompt, and I had to meet the requirements in 5 hours or less. I was given a week to complete it, and it was actually pretty fun for the most part.

I had a 30-min phone call to see if I was still interested and talk about my experience. Then there was a 3-hour aptitude test, followed by a personality test. After that, there was a 10-hour unpaid Design Challenge. The person I spoke with on the phone was really nice and knew their stuff. I stopped before finishing the Design Challenge because I wasn't cool with making a design that Epic could use for their products without getting paid. They didn't ask about my process or why I designed something a certain way, they just wanted the final thing.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. I was mainly concerned about the 3-hour assessment that came with the invitation for the initial phone interview. I really enjoyed the chat I had on the phone and felt it went exceptionally well. I thought the role was a perfect match for my abilities and what I was looking for in a company. However, I think the assessment, which covered math and technical skills (things I don't use in my work), was my downfall. The whole interview process was good, but I wish they hadn't put so much weight on the assessment, especially since I don't have a technical background but had everything they were looking for based on their job posting. Personally, I think they should have different assessments for different roles, but oh well!
