I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at athenahealth in Apr 2017
Interview
First round was online test. They called for next round in some hotel. Reached at 10 am. Offered high tea. They started showing some video about their company. After waiting for 2-3 hours, got a chance for interview round. They gave us program to print tree by levels. After 10-15 min they were expecting to write full code. I coded half of the logic and explained rest of it. I m 100% sure it's correct only.
They asked me to wait. In between again high tea time. After 2 hour they came and ask me to leave. Seriously ? Then why are they wasting our time for so long to decide for next round. Confused panel.
Funny part is, for publicity they gave T-shirt of small size :) my height is 6 ft :D
Wasted one day for this company. I wound have attended another interview
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at athenahealth (Boston, MA) in Apr 2026
Interview
I interviewed with one of the API-focused teams for a 30-minute hiring manager round. The interview began with questions about my applications to other teams, which had already been discussed with HR, and the mention that candidates may be redirected to other teams felt discouraging before the technical discussion even started.
During the discussion, the interviewer appeared dismissive and showed limited interest in understanding the context behind technical decisions (for example, quickly judging latency as “very high” without exploring system constraints). Overall, the interaction felt somewhat one-sided and not very candidate-friendly.
