I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at athenahealth
Interview
They give you a coding challenge question to complete before a certain deadline. If you complete it to their standards, they contact you about setting up a time to talk on the phone and go over your resume and do a bit of a phone screen. I heard back a few weeks later from another person at HR to set up an on-site interview time. The on-site interview comprised of a technical interview, followed by a lunch interview, and another technical interview right after. The technical interviews were 1.5 hours each, while the lunch interview was an hour long.

To put it in one sentence, Athenahealth’s interview process is significantly flawed and out of touch. Expect 4.5-6 HOURS of rigorous coding round interviews where you must complete fully optimized working solutions.There’s no care for how, or why you solved the problem. Just get every test case passing, and you’ve got a job. It’s clear this company is more keen on hiring a leetcoder, rather than trying to identify real talent. Other than the HM interview, no other opportunities are given to meet your potential coworkers. Expect to hop on a call with a stone wall of an interviewer, and have no intro’s or icebreaker. This was probably the biggest red flag of all.

Interview
I had a 15-minute recruiter phone screen, followed by a scheduled call with the hiring manager. During the call, the hiring manager was dismissive and repeatedly tried to downplay the achievements listed on my résumé. She was rude and kept challenging everything I said, trying to make it seem like my accomplishments were insignificant. I never received any feedback from either the recruiter or the hiring manager, they simply ghosted me. Overall, it was a terrible hiring experience.

Question 1
They review your resume in detail and ask many questions about what you did, how you did it, and why, digging into the specifics of your past roles.
