      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Atlassian (Bengaluru) in Jul 2024

      Interview

      1. Downgraded to senior engineer role in first hr call. 2. they will show your actual job you applied for as a carrot. 3. first round - snake game - question not super clear - dont expect a written question. was able to solve 50% of test cases. 4. second round - file system size tracking - completed 100% test cases in best performance time (double checked with chatgpt post interview, same solution recommended from chatgpt) 5. got rejected in both round. Looks like these are ghost jobs - are there people being hired ? would love to know someone who is hired recently in atlassian for any of these roles. IDK why but many companies are posting these ghost jobs - when demand was higher in IT wouldve got an offer with half the code quality i gave to atlassian.

      Application

      I interviewed at Atlassian (Sydney)

      Interview

      Standard process for a platform engineer (SRR) role, around what you have completed. Completing a coding exam on data structures for this role is unusual though. Role seemed more for application development than SRE.

      Question 1

      Coding exam around structures. Example of where you have encountered difficulties in role.

      Coding task, algorithms. It was not very difficult, all worked. But probably was not as good as it should be. Interviewer was polite and professional, task was described, we had a chat about solution steps.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Atlassian (Bengaluru) in Sep 2025

      Interview

      Had a great interview experience at Atlassian. The HR of company are friendly and responsive, interviewers are knowledgeable and positive during interview. I had a total of 6 rounds of interview 1. HR - HR just asks about your experience and check skills based fitment. 2. System Design - Question - Design a Url Scarping System. I was able to solve this. However the expectation is go deep and design the core Scrapping API. Which I was able to do after the interviewer insisted. So be ready to show case your API design skills, URL, Request, Response, Data Model etc. Also be ready to provide the tech stack along with tradeoffs. 3. Leadership and Craft - Lot of questions around delivery, project management, stakeholder management, mentoring etc. I did pretty well in this. 4. Values - This is about atlassian values, HR will tell you how to prepare for this. I did pretty well. 5. Data Structure - Last Hero Problem. In an F1 race find the person who has done fastest lap in all of race. I solved it using HashMap of racer and max lap time. Later on I sorted the map and gave the last lap hero. I made a silly mistake and my test cases were failing. Hence I did not make it. 5. LLD - I dont remember the question. It was around Most Popular content. I used HashMap for storing content and frequency (thumbs up/thumbs Down)
