Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia

November 1, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

My overall experience with the interview process was very negative. Despite being consistently told that my performance was good and that we should proceed to the next stages, the feedback I received at the end from the hiring committee cited problems with my coding interview. I ended up wasting time on the other interviews, as it was clear they wouldn't want to hire me based on previous stages.

I also found it odd that most companies pair interviewers to reduce bias and maintain consistency, but Atlassian only allocated one interviewer for each of my interviews. I felt that I performed well with every interviewer except one person, who seemed very fixated on a NoSQL solution despite a SQL solution being viable.

Here's a breakdown of the stages:

  • Recruiter/Karat: Leetcode Easy + scenarios like "What are some potential issues with building a ticketing system that accepts credit card payments?"
  • Code Pair: Algorithm
  • Code Pair: Data Structures
  • System Design
  • Experiences
  • Values

Questions

Design a tagging system, e.g., Jira labels.
