Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks.

I worked at Atlassian for 8 years, but was bounced at the first round because I didn’t know a very specific search algorithm. The interviewer struggled to clarify questions that I raised during the interview. The question was very complex and did not have an easy solution to start with and then build complexity.
