Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online and Atlassian interviewed me via Karat. The interview contained system design questions and a coding challenge. The system design questions they asked were pretty simple for senior software engineers. The coding challenge was a LeetCode mid-hard.

Karat gave candidates two attempts to pass the interview, and I used both. The first interview was 90 minutes; the second was only 60. I told the recruiter about this, and she answered that the 90-minute interview was Karat's issue, as it should have been 60 minutes.

According to my experience, based on the interview duration and the very different complexity of the coding challenges, not all candidates were treated equally.

Some candidates solved easy LeetCode tasks (you can see questions from other candidates on Glassdoor) and had 90 minutes to solve them. Other candidates for the same role received complex coding challenges and only 25 minutes to solve them. Realistically, that time is not enough even to type the code.
