      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      22 Jul 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bengaluru
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at athenahealth (Bengaluru) in May 2018

      Interview

      This review is for an interview taken in Bangalore office; I received a call from the HR and had the interview slotted in. Office setup is pretty new and liked the way it has been setup. First round was about coding; interviewer came in and gave me a question - see question(1) ; was given a laptop to solve the problem; interviewer left the room once I started looking into the problem; 15 minutes later he appeared again, asked me to explain the approach I am taking to solve the problem; after hearing my approach, he said that my approach is not going to work but he nevertheless left the room immediately as I continued to solve that problem; actually problem given was not a tough one so could complete that easily; interviewer came in again, saw that my code is working as expected; since he had earlier told me that my approach was not a right one, I probed him to see if he still thinks, there is a better way to solve the problem, he simply said, it is okay (I think, he went to his desk, googled for the solution only to find that my approach indeed a right one). Interviewer added more challenges to the same problem but were easy to get over them. Interviewer looked pale as he could not get me into any kind of struggles. Second round was about mix of coding and explaining the technical stuffs - see question (2) and question (3) - again easy pee see. Third round was about design and architecture. A 3rd interviewer is joined by the interviewer from the first round; this time they were super aggressive; we decided to design 'FlipKart' kind of application; As soon as I drew one block (rectangle), they asked 10 questions; I drew the diagrams as they kept asking questions; there were questions for which they could not find any follow up questions so they started pushing me into answers that they were looking for; In my assessment, these interviewers did not have much product development experience, they might be good in the data structures and algorithms but their design knowledge did not give me any confidence that these interviewers( read as engineers) will ever deliver any kind of product. For example, one interviewer was saying that he would write certain business logic into the database so that multiple microservices won't be required - he wanted to have catalog retrieval + inventory check logic in the database together. To keep it simple: Interviewers at AthenaHealth want you to fail; Even if you don't, they will make you by throwing questions continuously without letting you answering them; they even frustrate you telling that "may be, we should have chosen a problem that you know it well". I reached their office by 10:45am; I came out of their office by 3pm but neither HR nor the interviewers bothered about my lunch; I myself went to cafeteria picked some biscuits and a coffee for my lunch.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      There are 5 cities situated in the bank of a river but these cities are placed in a zig-zag manner across the river; for example, A1 - river - C2, B1 - river - A2, C1 - river - B2, D1 - river - D2; problem is to construct the bridges between these cities; constraint: bridges should not overlap like A1 to A2 and C1 to C2 are not possible; outcome in this case is: possible bridges that could constructed are A1 to A 2, B1 to B2.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      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.
