I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at athenahealth in Oct 2014
Interview
Spoke offline first with a recruiter who was very open about the process and salary range for the position I was considering. After an initial screen, the recruiter went a little dark, when I asked, he did tell me things were moving on his side. After about 2 weeks, I came in for a series of face to face interviews including a presentation about athenahealth and the PI group. The sessions were good, my only gripe was the whole thing ran from 8:30 to about 2:00 and there was no lunch. After that round, I was brought in for a follow up with the hiring manager and executive of the team. They followed up with an offer shortly thereafter and I was happy to accept.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at athenahealth (Austin, TX) in Apr 2016
Interview
Made it to onsite interviews (3rd round) - team seemed generally disinterested both in me and their own jobs. Not sure why I was flown in. May be a small thing - but I would expect someone from the team to take the time to have lunch with a fly-in candidate (I was on my own for all meals).
HR/recruiting is very uncoordinated. Had to engage 3 to 4 different reps who did not seem to just pass the buck to each other. For my fly-in interviews was asked to go out the coming week, only to have HR take forever to get back to me so it pushed out a further week.
Interviewee also has to pay for flight and hotel, and wait for reimbursement - which seems like another uncoordinated (and interviewee unfriendly) process.

Interview
One of the worst experience I have ever had. I was contacted by their recruiter to schedule a phone screen. The phone screen went on well and was invited onsite. The onsite lasted a morning and was pretty straight forward and went really well. Nothing tough about the interviews. I dint hear back for about a week so I decided to write to their HR. No response. So I gave her a call. She apologized for the delay and also informed me that a different HR had participated in the interview feedback meeting. She asked me to get in touch with the other HR. I dint hear back a couple of weeks. In the mean time I got another offer. Since I really wanted to be in the health care industry, I decided to check back with them.
The process started all warm and nice and was dropped like a hot potato. Absolutely unprofessional attitude exhibited by the HR
