J'ai passé un entretien chez Atlassian (Melbourne)
Entretien
Although I have interviewed with many challenging companies in my 18 years of experience this one was soul crushing. I have been down levelled twice in the 7 rounds and the feedback didn’t seem fair. It almost felt like interviewers were trying to poke holes in my responses and focusing on negatives. I think most interviews except 1 went well and I was taken aback by the negative feedback. Also despite having passed all rounds, the hiring committee decided not to go ahead because of the feedback.
Your mileage may vary but in general the salary promised by recruiters before first round is probably not what you will get. They would down level. After 7 hours of total interview time and weeks of preparation I was rejected which made me feel depressed and shook my confidence. It maybe due to current job market conditions but fair warning don’t interview just by looking at the salary package.
Standard process for a platform engineer (SRR) role, around what you have completed. Completing a coding exam on data structures for this role is unusual though. Role seemed more for application development than SRE.

Question 1
Coding exam around structures. Example of where you have encountered difficulties in role.
Coding task, algorithms. It was not very difficult, all worked. But probably was not as good as it should be. Interviewer was polite and professional, task was described, we had a chat about solution steps.

Had a great interview experience at Atlassian. The HR of company are friendly and responsive, interviewers are knowledgeable and positive during interview. I had a total of 6 rounds of interview
1. HR - HR just asks about your experience and check skills based fitment.
2. System Design - Question - Design a Url Scarping System. I was able to solve this. However the expectation is go deep and design the core Scrapping API. Which I was able to do after the interviewer insisted. So be ready to show case your API design skills, URL, Request, Response, Data Model etc. Also be ready to provide the tech stack along with tradeoffs.
3. Leadership and Craft - Lot of questions around delivery, project management, stakeholder management, mentoring etc. I did pretty well in this.
4. Values - This is about atlassian values, HR will tell you how to prepare for this. I did pretty well.
5. Data Structure - Last Hero Problem. In an F1 race find the person who has done fastest lap in all of race. I solved it using HashMap of racer and max lap time. Later on I sorted the map and gave the last lap hero. I made a silly mistake and my test cases were failing. Hence I did not make it.
5. LLD - I dont remember the question. It was around Most Popular content. I used HashMap for storing content and frequency (thumbs up/thumbs Down)
