athenahealth Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at athenahealth (Watertown, MA).

Interview

This was an excellent interview process. I worked with an internal recruiter who guided me through the whole process and served as my main contact over the few weeks of my candidacy. Communication was timely, and I moved from round to round quickly and with no delays.

1) 30-minute screening call with recruiter
2) 30-minute screening call with hiring manager
3) 2-hour in-person interview consisting of 3 1-on-one meetings with potential teammates + 1 2-on-one meeting with hiring manager and one teammate

Interview

The entire process was extremely professional yet approachable. I had one call with a recruiter, one call with the hiring manager, one visit to the office with four in person interviews and two phone interviews after. The recruiter I worked with was extremely informative and quickly responded to any question I had. He was proactive in keeping me up to date on their timeline, which was greatly appreciated. Once presented an offer they allowed me to digest and make a decision. At no point were they pushy. I was extremely impressed with their recruiting and interview process.

Interview

What a waste of seven weeks. I had two phone interviews, one 3 hour in person where I had to pay for my own parking (wasn’t validated), a Skype interview and two thirty minute reference checks.. that were pushed back multiple times (not respectful of my references time at all.) After my in person interview I was told to the keep the recruiter posted about my other interviews so they could potentially speed things up for me. For three weeks in a row, I was told I should know by the end of the week. Seven weeks later and I got a rejection email saying they were going with a candidate that better fit there needs. I have sales, cold calling & closing experience, displayed high levels of empathy and referred to a story of someone I love who has struggled with their health allowing me to better empathize with the patients of the practices they are implementing the technology in to. I am absolutely repulsed by this process and how led on I was. This is business, don’t tell a candidate to keep them posted on other interviews and reference check only to reject them. Have a little more decency than that.

Interview

My overall experience: They have been asking the same questions since 1965 which is lame. Even if you code it half way you will be rejected because they want solution and not your approach. The reason is because they don't understand any other programming language expect the one on they work. So my final advice memorize your solution if you get these questions and code it completely on the interview day.

Interview

Applied on their website. Recruiter reached out to schedule an online coding challenge on call with a technical staff that lasted 1 hour. athenahealth flew me on site for 5 one-on-one interviews with managers/technical staff. 3 behaviorial (1 of them is during lunch) and 2 technicals. The technical interviews were around 1.5 hours ea and behavioral were 1 hour each. Each technical interview consists of a base problem where you first write out pseudocode then write it up to run (language and environment is all up to you). Then they will add requirements after each success. I personally didnt finish every requirement (got to last req in 1 before we ran out of time) for 1 and gave a sub-optimal answer for second.

Interview

The process was more or less fine up until the way they sent me my rejection. Applied, was contacted by someone from HR (who seemed disorganized given that they didn’t finalize my in person interview time until LITERALLY the day before, as if I don’t have to get time off approved) , got the in person interview, met the team, enjoyed my time there. Two weeks of radio silence, I’ve already written off any hope of hearing back. Whatever, time to move on. Then, 13 days after I have my in person interview, I get an email at 10am from the HR rep, asking if we can schedule a quick call. I quickly reply back, getting excited because I’ve only ever received rejections via email, and if you’re job searching, 99% of the time when your potential employer wants to call you, it’s good news. Not this time. They keep me in a state of anticipation and anxiety for 6.5 hours until they finally call, just to deliver the news that although I was a great culture fit and everyone apparently liked me, they’re going in another direction. To me, and to pretty much everyone else I’ve talked to (also reading stories on quora and reddit of similar experiences), this seemed like a low blow and then kicking me into the dirt. My advice to HR is to realize that your job is HUMAN resources- think before you act. Put yourself in the shoes of a job searcher before you give them news- positive or negative. Job searching is depressing. It’s dehumanizing. But you had to go and make it even worse by providing a small modicum of false hope, stretching that out over 6.5 hours, and then bluntly kicking me in the gut. Like I said in my follow up email, I’ve been searching long enough to know that an email is standard and will suffice. What athena did was basically evil.

Interview

Reasonabe delays between interview parts.
 Everyone involved was very nice and helpful to all the questions they asked.
They were very accommodating and I didn't feel pressured at an part of the interview.
There were a lot of questions about my resume, and that seemed to be the main focus besides behavioral.

Interview

I was first contacted by a member of HR to go over the details of the position and learn more about the company. Then another phone interview was scheduled a few days later with the manager of the department that the position would report to. After a few days they invited me for about an hour and a half of onsite interviews with the Department Manager and various members of the team I would be working with.
