I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at athenahealth (Austin, TX) in Feb 2013
Interview
Phone interview followed by an emailed software programming puzzle. The puzzle was moderately difficult. Then I was invited to an in-person interview. This consisted of Technical interview, Non-Technical interview, 30 minute lunch, Technical interview, Non-technical interview. The technical interview involved another puzzle which you white board with the interviewer and then code in the language of your choice. The non-technical interviews asked about my experience, what I was looking for, and talked about the company. Lunch was on my own and a too short especially considering interviews may further cut into your time. The employees were very nice and made a good case for working for the company. The branch is very new and so are most of the employees as of this review.

Question 1
Puzzles were moderately difficult to code in the time allotted. Unlike other interviews for this company, it was more about getting the program completed rather than finding a great solution and it involved a lot of array indexing.
I had attended the live coding round. i couldnt remember but it involved array. i get rejected. But it was quite easy for anyone who already aced or practicing leetcode

Rd3: Coding Interview - 90m
Rd4: 2x 90m Coding Interview, 1 Behavioral (Virtual Onsite)
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.
