I applied online and received a request for a phone interview within 1-2 days. It was a brief conversation covering my interests and a few details of the position. A second follow-up phone interview occurred with the Senior VP. He asked about my analytics experience and random things like, "what's the best application you have on your smartphone?" This led to an in person interview about a week later. The scheduling for the interview was pretty haphazard. The recruiter kept telling me "hold that afternoon open." Finally, another entirely different recruiting assistant confirmed with less than 24 hours notice. If you're trying to interview on the sly while being employed, you may want to apply elsewhere. Athena is very "Athena" focused and operates on the mentality that they're so well ranked that there are 50+ other people who want the position you're interviewing for. The 6 hour in-person interview was a bit of an undertaking. The conversations were fairly similar and primarily surface level questions based on my resume. The 2 hour skills-based assessment was extremely uncomfortable. Despite being told during phone interviews that they "didn't care" what analytics programs you use for analysis, the entire case was based on Excel. It was clear to me that their perspective of analytics was very 1997 and the Senior VP was entirely uncomfortable with more robust relational databases. This wasn't my first case based interview but it was the most disorganized. Unlike other places, there was no written prompt. The exercise was an act of listening to the Senior VP verbally tell you what he wanted and then try to do it while he sat behind you and watched. It was fairly bizarre. Overall, it wasn't the worst interview I ever had but I certainly left feeling very mixed. The recruiter claimed he would be "in touch" but never reached out again until I informed him I received an offer from another company and was no longer interested.
