Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. they provided with one paper where 1 to 8 numbers will be there. 8= 2power3, so they will commands if they give left command we need to fold that paper left or if it is a right to right. After giving all commands, all number will be in single line. If we take a pin and pin it from top which number will touch first , second,... print those number.
Note: if they will give 16 = 2pow4 then they will give four command and on so on....

To put it in one sentence, Athenahealth’s interview process is significantly flawed and out of touch. Expect 4.5-6 HOURS of rigorous coding round interviews where you must complete fully optimized working solutions.There’s no care for how, or why you solved the problem. Just get every test case passing, and you’ve got a job. It’s clear this company is more keen on hiring a leetcoder, rather than trying to identify real talent. Other than the HM interview, no other opportunities are given to meet your potential coworkers. Expect to hop on a call with a stone wall of an interviewer, and have no intro’s or icebreaker. This was probably the biggest red flag of all.
Do better athenahealth..

Interview
I had a 15-minute recruiter phone screen, followed by a scheduled call with the hiring manager. During the call, the hiring manager was dismissive and repeatedly tried to downplay the achievements listed on my résumé. She was rude and kept challenging everything I said, trying to make it seem like my accomplishments were insignificant. I never received any feedback from either the recruiter or the hiring manager, they simply ghosted me. Overall, it was a terrible hiring experience.

Question 1
They review your resume in detail and ask many questions about what you did, how you did it, and why, digging into the specifics of your past roles.
