Interview
I have had really bad experience with twice in a row. A few months back I had applied at Athena, after a month or so I received some messages to set up an initial phone screening with Amber Jackson. I spoke with her and she said after the phone call she will send me a puzzle to solve. But guess what she never sent me any puzzle. Neither did she reply to my messages. A few months later, a consultant sent my resume to Athena. The consultant gave me the puzzle which was sent to her by Amber. I solved the puzzle and asked Amber to acknowledge that she has received my solution. From that day onwards no reply yet, its been months.
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

Interview
Rd1: Recruiter
Rd2: HM Interview - 30m
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.
