I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at athenahealth (Austin, TX) in Aug 2016
Interview
Notice up-front: I have yet to be reimbursed for my travel expenses and it has been over a month.
Phone interview with a lead recruiter, then an online software puzzle to code up. This landed me a on-site interview in which I had to book my own travel.
The interview process was pretty typical for a large company. 2 technical interviews and 3 regular interviews for a 5 hour long process. For the technical interviews they ask you to bring your own laptop, which I found to be annoying as I don't own one. They do have one there to use, though.
First technical problem wasn't too difficult, but I was fairly nervous. The final technical problem was convoluted and took the majority of the time to discuss the solution with very little time to code up. No real tour of the facilities or introduction to other team members. I left frustrated and not sold on the company.
Their feedback for not extending an offer was trite and that I didn't seem interested in the company.

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.

Interview
There were 2 stages. The first was a recruiter screen. The second was with a specific team. In the second interview, we discussed projects in the team's pipeline, my experience and how it may lineup, and the current state of frontend technology.
