I don't remember anything except the in-person part anymore.
All I remember that the in-person part exhaustively involves permutations and backtracking. Practice that kind of problem.
And then there was a section of just talking about what you've worked on and why you made the design choices you did, what kind of problems you ran into and how you solved them, etc, the usual.
Having consequently accepted an offer, I am sorry to say the nature of the work here is quite distantly unrelated to their interview content. They may as well be hiring sushi chefs based on their ability to repair cars.
While the interview focuses on intense algorithmic application, the actual job mostly involves copy/pasting from an enormous monolith of pre-written legacy Perl code.
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
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at athenahealth

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.
