I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at athenahealth in Jul 2016
Interview
HR Screen, Phone Interview with hiring manager, then 5 interviews on-site and a presentation.
I liked the attempt at seeming like a cool culture. The building was great, everyone brings their dogs to work. That said, the culture is actually toxic. It seems really competitive. Everyone, though nice, seemed intense. Someone mentioned you have to be vocal about wanting to get promoted, which is surprising for a company that pretends to be a cool and collaborative start-up. I ended up not getting the job because I mentioned I wanted to further my education and they needed someone who would be there for several years. It makes sense as they don't provide any support for further education.
Interview people were fine but won't follow up on time. Completely unprofessional after 6 interviews!! Have some decency to let the person know when they invested so much time. It doesn't take long to send one email.
I applied online. I interviewed at athenahealth (Maryland City, MD) in May 2024
Interview
Phone screen, one round of interview (would get decision after first interview). What threw me off was the automated “we have decided to go with other candidates” email. When you are at the final round of the interview, you would hope you get a personable message explaining why you didn’t get the job. Companies need to do better when rejecting applicants.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you currently do and how does it relate to the role you are applying to?
Made me go through 3 rounds without giving me an answer. Absolutely horrible communication skills from the recruiter and the hiring manager. Despite follow up emails she didn’t have the decency to reply to say if I was still in the consideration or not. Glad I didn’t end up working here.
