AthenaHealth visited our college located in Pune in the last week of September 2021. Total 4 rounds: Coding and MCQ (Day-1 Morning) Technical interview (Day-2 Morning) Managerial Interview (Day-2 Afternoon) HR (Day-3 Morning)

Round 1 Coding &

MCQ 90 minutes test. Platform: HackerRank Two coding problems - difficulty: 1 easy (50 marks) 1 medium (75 marks) 10 MCQs (5 marks each) based on basic data structures, quant aptitude, and logic, code output prediction, etc. The coding problem was based on the caesar cipher decryption technique. Similar to this: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/ethical-hacking/caesar-cipher-in-cryptography/ The coding problem was a problem originally asked by Apple in one of their tests. Refer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICdGWdv9EdI&feature=youtu.be MCQs are easy if your basics are strong. Spare enough time for MCQs as there is a lot to read in every question. In your technical interview, be prepared to answer questions related to these 2 codes. Round-2: Technical interview 45 mins interview. Platform: HackerRank's Codepair Codepair is a platform for coding on a shared screen & simultaneously video calling. Understand how it works before giving an interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD2dJ-wOCQc3 Questions: Emphasis on DSA and OOP Brief introduction: emphasis on the tech stack What is a data structure? Its types? Further questions were framed based on examples given. Can stack be implemented using queue? What is the principle of the stack? Why trees are needed? How are they traversed? (All 3 ways are expected) Why BST came into existence? Difference between hashmap and HashSet (because I said I prefer java for coding) How do I decide which data structure to use for a given problem? Can I perform a binary search on a linked list? How linked lists work internally? Do graphs have a defined structure?

Example of real-time implementation of graphs. Explain graph traversals. Dijkstra's algorithm (logic and applications) Asked me whether I know JIT compiler. Asked its explanation. Questions on the logic used in coding questions of Hackerrank test. Asked why I could not pass all test cases of one of the problems. Scope of variables - local and global. Questions on OOP, can't recollect. One problem statement related to the bitonic array was given on code pair, I had to execute and produce the desired output. Before starting to code, I discussed my approach and complexity. Panellist asked me to explain the logic I used in code, appreciated that I was quick. The interviewer asked whether I had any questions. I did ask some questions about the work developers do at Athena.

Round 3 Managerial interview 65 mins interview. Platform: Microsoft Teams Questions: Emphasis on Projects listed in resume and Internship work Introduction - in this format https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20200911191227/tellmeaboutyourselfformat-587x660.jpg An in-depth discussion on projects I had mentioned on my resume, its tech stack. He expected me to explain the entire architecture and different modules of code with class names used. Basically, every question in this round was a cross-question to the answer I gave for the previous question. Giving reasonable answers was the key. Discussion on work I did in an internship. My role, learnings, challenges faced. Some questions on java. How garbage collection works internally? Why did memory leaks happen? What data structure is used by java internally to create variables? 4 pillars of OOP - in-depth explanation. Why multiple inheritance is not allowed in java? final keyword. Access specifiers. Abstract class vs interface. Why do interfaces exist? The panelist was friendly and gave me many suggestions on the project. Also suggested I should do a professional certification course on Java. How do you handle work pressure? How do you plan before starting challenging tasks? A situation where you learned from your mistakes. (Use STAR method for answering) Lastly, one puzzle was asked, refer - https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/aptitude/puzzle-heaven-hell/ The interviewer asked whether I had any questions. I did not ask any questions here.

Round 4 HR interview 20 minutes interview. Platform: Microsoft teams Questions: Emphasis on the emotional quotient and future plans Introduction - include family background and native places. Asked me how was my experience in previous rounds. A situation where you faced challenges in any project, how did you handle it. Use STAR method for situational questions: https://www.vawizard.org/wiz-pdf/STAR_Method_Interviews.pdf Why do you want to be part of AthenaHealth? (Do some homework about the company's products and vision before the HR round.) What are your principles in life? Any plans for higher education? Long-term plans 10 years ahead? Do you have any other internship/job offer(s)? Preferred work location? (Pune/Bangalore/Chennai) The interviewer asked whether I had any questions. I did some questions here about work culture. Panelist was very friendly throughout the interview, it felt like a casual conversation. In the end, she said, "If everything gets well, I'll see you in the office!" Finally, 5 candidates were selected for a full-time position, joining in 2022 as Associate Member of Technical Staff. I was one of them.
