I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at athenahealth (Bengaluru) in Apr 2018
Interview
This role was for Product Manager for MDM domain. The recruiter from Chennai shecheduled an interview after screen at the Bangalore office, Richmond circle. I reached in time and met the POC there's she guided me to the a PM who interviewed me. He was professional and explained the role. After that he has given a Business Problem as take away work, which I need to complete in 2 days and email back. I have created the solution deck with mile stones, epics and strategy. After a week they called for another face to face round in which I had to present the solution to the interviewer. After an hour long discussion, he said he will communicate the feedback to HR. The recruiter never rang me with status.
Wasted one week and two travels to their office. Recruitment team doesn't have the curtasy to ring and give an update. They don't understand the value of time..
Excellent and enlightening experience with each round.
1st round senior product manager screening
2nd round case study round
Followed by 4 rounds of discussion with Product and Engineering directors around various PM competencies
Disorganized--4 rounds including case study (final round) and then no offer with no feedback. I truly liked the recruiter and people I met with so I was hoping it was just a bumpy path to a role I would enjoy. I felt they would forget there was a hiring process and then suddenly want to urgently coordinate another round.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at athenahealth in Oct 2025
Interview
Screener call, 30 minute recruiter call, one hour long manager call and two more 30 minute SME/VIP chats. A few 'what-if' scenarios, but completely practical and easy to navigate. There was good communication during the setting up for interviews but went radio silent after the last interview. Just saw the listing was taken down some time after.
