Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I don't think any one question was better or worse than any other question. It was clear that the people doing the technical interviews knew the material very well and would be able to tell if you are BSing them. My suggestion, don't say you know something that you don't, the interviewers can tell and it will end the interview process faster than anything else.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Atlassian in Nov 2025
Interview
The interview was smooth organised by an HR, the first 3 rounds were very fast within a week. But after the third they just went silent. No feedback or response. Felt a bit weird
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Atlassian (Sacramento, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
Recruiter>tech interview one>values interview>tech interview two>manager interview>. All one hour. Very large waste of time, and they’re likely interview farming for training data. I will not personally ever apply here again. Merge your interviews you don’t need to burn 4 days for people applying.
It was probably the most lengthiest interview process I had ever gone. I had not 1 but 2 'final' interviews; At the first final interview the big boss all of a sudden asked if I was interested in another, more senior role, I said I didn't mind and then instead of a final decision they arranged another technical interview with the stake holders of the team that the big boss had propsed that I'd be a better fit
What I liked is that the first interviewer not only stayed late to accomodate my questions, but he also took me around the office, showing me all those multiple floors, cool meeting rooms, overall busy working atmosphere; 29th floor on 363 George street was a jaw dropping experience, all those views, vast open and smartly arranged spaces. It was rather long ago but I still remember that feeling that effectively made me fall in love with that place
