Process

Phone Interview with Recruiter

Code Interview with 3 sections, the code was supplied. There were 3 sections of questions:

  • First was TDD and little bug fixing.
  • Second was feature development.
  • Third was making the code multithreaded.

I had time to go through only the first 2 sections, so no multithreading questions were asked.

The recruiter came back and told me I did just fine, but that I needed to prove more.

Another technical round was set up. This one was a bit thorough. We talked about my projects and they did a deep dive on the what and why of some decisions. Then security-related questions were asked. Following that, there was a design exercise where I had to implement a new feature and take care of some edge conditions and workflow-related issues within that feature.

That went well. We had some post-interview discussions about how Atlassian works, etc.

After this, the recruiter came back and wanted to discuss which team and level I would be offered if I proceeded to the final stage, and how much money would be offered. It was a pay cut for me, so I did not proceed further with the role.
