Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Completed 3 HackerRank questions in 60 minutes. All 3 questions have been mentioned in other reviews. They are rather easy.
All difficulties arise from HackerRank's clumsy site. Prepare to spend at least 15 minutes figuring out how it handles I/O if you are a first-time HackerRank user like me. I completed 2 questions but have never heard back from them.
Suggestion to candidates: Practice all questions in advance. You will have no time to think or debug.
Suggestion to Atlassian: A good tech company should not rely on a poorly engineered online judge to evaluate an engineer.
