I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at athenahealth (Austin, TX) in Sep 2015
Interview
I had 2 90 minute technical sessions, working through some toy problems (typical algorithmic type problems, basically little games). We started with working out some basic bits on the whiteboard and then actually implementing them in the language of my choice. Bring a laptop set up/ready to go because there is not a lot of time.
There was also a 60 minute Q&A with a senior lead and a 60 minute Q&A with the most senior person in the Austin location. The first mostly asked me questions about myself and the 2nd mostly wanted me to ask questions, and explained some of what they do to me.
There were no "gotcha" questions, no puzzle questions, no "why are manholes round" or "how many violins are then in New York". The programming problems were straight forward but obviously designed to show basic understanding of how to program. The non-technical interviews were mostly, I think, to see what kind of person I am, what I like, what I might need from an employer,etc.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at athenahealth (Boston, MA) in Apr 2026
Interview
I interviewed with one of the API-focused teams for a 30-minute hiring manager round. The interview began with questions about my applications to other teams, which had already been discussed with HR, and the mention that candidates may be redirected to other teams felt discouraging before the technical discussion even started.
During the discussion, the interviewer appeared dismissive and showed limited interest in understanding the context behind technical decisions (for example, quickly judging latency as “very high” without exploring system constraints). Overall, the interaction felt somewhat one-sided and not very candidate-friendly.
