Interview
I applied through college or university and the process is still not over.
First round was online assessment. The assessment test had four sections:
1. 2 Minute Section
2. Math
3. New Programming language
The 2-Minute section had 10 SAT based questions to be solved in 2 minutes. I think this was basically to test out your speed and how quickly you respond to things.
The Math section had 14 questions, and had pretty easy ones too. Not that bad for someone who's done Engineering. No probability or Statistics questions. Basic SAT based questions but a bit tricky.
The New Language Section introduces a new programming language. It was easy. Just know the basics of programming and read the questions carefully and you'll get through them easily. Use common sense also, don't completely go by the questions. They are tricky too.
Second Round was Programming. It had 4 questions.
1. Given some miles travelled and fuel arrays at different times, you have to calculate the MPG and MPH of a car. (Brute Force, Implementation)
2. Transportation is a process where you can swap any 2 adjacent characters in a string. Given a source and a target string write a program to print all the intermediate strings to reach from source to target. (Recursion)
3. Print all palindromes of size greater than equal to 3 of a given string. (DP)
4. Given a NxN board with 0 (unoccupied) ,1 (occupied by piece 1) ,2 (occupied by piece 2).
Coordinates of a piece is given. You can move diagonally and jump over all the pieces which are distinct from the given piece and reach to cell 0. Find longest jump following this rule.
I did all the questions and waiting to hear from them.

Question 1
If an Apple costs $10, grapefruit costs $20 and banana costs $15, how much will a pear cost?
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Oct 2013
Interview
Applied through university career site.
Get an email asking me to provide graduate and undergraduate GPA and take a online test about personality.
A recruiter connected me the next day and setup a phone interview. Chatted with an engineer about my projects and the opportunities at Epic. Just a casual chat, no technical questions. He asked for my GRE score and GPAs again, which is out of my expectation.
Then take a skill assessment a week later.Four parts: math; a new language followed by some multiple choice questions; 2 min 10 questions(simple but need fast response, I didn't finish all); 4 coding problems, all very basic. There were no time limit for very part except for the 2min one. Both the speed and correctness are considered.
Waiting for next steps

Question 1
Given a length of a password, print all possible well-ordered passwards
I applied online. The process was similar to what other people :here 1) Phone interview no technical at all 2) Online skills test through Pearson. The questions in the online skill test were pretty easy for the first two parts (simple math+questions on a new prog. language). The third part included a programming assignment which was more difficult. If you have a little time and you review some standard programming questions it can be done. However, I did not prepare at all and so I failed.
