Software Engineer Interview Experience - Australia

Process

Never waste time interviewing with Atlassian. I went through five rounds of interviews:

  • Phone screening: Self-introduction and discussion of past projects.
  • Karat: Basic HTML, CSS, and JS questions, which I passed.
  • JS coding interview: Simple JS questions, which I passed.
  • Browser coding interview: Coded a simple UI, which I passed.
  • System design: The topic was a very popular question. I had reviewed it twice on YouTube following two popular videos, but ultimately, I did not pass.

In the end, HR told me I didn't pass the system design interview and that there were no suitable positions available at the moment either. I strongly suspect that my failure in the system design interview was because Atlassian actually had no new positions open; they just wanted to keep HR looking busy. It's impossible that I failed the system design interview since I had prepared exactly for this question using very popular YouTube system design tutorials.

My final advice: If you insist on interviewing with Atlassian, make sure to confirm with HR that there are open positions. Otherwise, they might just find any excuse to fail your interview.
