      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Dec 1, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Watertown, MA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at athenahealth (Watertown, MA) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      I had a phone call with their internal recruiter to talk through my resume and relate my prior work to problems Athena is solving. The recruiter was easy to talk to and seemed to have a good understanding of what the engineering team was looking for. I spent a half-day at Athena's campus interviewing with the team. The campus is large and attractive with a good cafeteria, but the engineering work-area is a huge open office. Interviews alternated between writing and running code on my laptop (intense) and talking through architecture-level problems (casual).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They had a game similar to a match-3 puzzle and asked me to implement some of the algorithms behind the features, like moving the remaining tiles down after a match.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Apr 10, 2026
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      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.
