Software Engineer Interview Experience - Melbourne
Process
I was head-hunted by HR via LinkedIn.
The first round was a Karat interview by a third party. The interviewer was actively engaged and patient until I read and understood the questions.
The second round has two parts: design and DSA, both conducted by Atlassian employees. Both interviewers were friendly and actively engaged in the interview.
Questions
Design and implement a booking system that takes a list of booking records as input. The expectation was to use the heap data structure so that the time complexity is O(n log n).
