However, instead it was just some vague questions like, "Can you describe how you would get data into a data warehouse?" and no matter what I answered, it didn't seem to be the right answer for what they wanted. I kept asking for clarification on what level of detail they were expecting, but they were unable to explain.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Atlassian (Austin, TX) in Aug 2018
