I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at athenahealth
Interview
Did an HR screening then came in to interview with 4 people on the team. Each interview was 30 minutes long and largely consisted of behavioral questions. Contacted by HR about the final step which was having coffee with manager of the team and discussing an excel project they assigned to me.
A friend referred me. It took a little over a week before I heard back.
There were two phone screens, one with someone from the recruiting team and one with a manager on the data science team, followed by an on site interview. The recruiter is tasked with only a couple of teams so she definitely one what she was talking about. She also let me know exactly what to expect from each interview (a few verbal case studies and a project where I had about a week to prepare some analysis). There were no surprises.

Interview
Applied online to a generalized "Data Science Positions" listing on Athena's website. Interview consisted of an initial phone screen, take-home project, and onsite. Over the course of the interviews it became clear that this position was much closer to what most people would call a data analyst as opposed to a data scientist. Overall I got the impression that they hadn't spent much time thinking about their interview process.

Question 1
Was only asked one technical question the entire time which was somewhat alarming for a supposed data science position
