Two screening calls, one interview prep call, and six rounds of interviews.
Coding rounds were very much of the "gotcha" variety. Beyond the basic requirements outlined at the start, each had an additional, opinionated requirement, and there's no way to discover what that is until it's too late to refactor.

Atlassian runs a large number of candidates through the interview process, then runs something closer to a lottery than an evaluation in order to whittle down the numbers. Not good for the candidates OR their employees having to constantly run interviews!
The coding rounds covered a middleware URL router and a multi-user rate limiter.
