I applied online. I interviewed at Atlassian (Sydney) in Jul 2021
Interview
There were 2 rounds
First was non technical and took about 30-45 mins. This was fairly easy and had general questions around team working environment.
Second round was technical and it took about 1 hour.

Question 1
-Dependency injection in Spring
-BigO notation related questions
Karat interview to start with.
After, two data structures and algorithms coding interviews with atlassian directly. Each of these interviews was an hour. Afterwards, they have a system design interview and then a culture interview, but I didnt reach those stages.

Question 1
One of the questions involved api routes, but I dont remember the details. I had to use regex
1rd round Recruiter Screen: I got feedback in the end,
2rd round Karat's coding session: There was an enough time to solve a mid level coding question
3rd and 4th round: The solutions were to use data structures questions like treemap and dequeue. These were difficult.
They still do multiple coding interviews. One prescreen with Karat, which is 20 minutes of engineering questions and 40 minutes coding, then two 60 minutes coding session. And it's for a senior position in an era of AI agents. I believe that they spend too much time on coding rather than architecture. I didn't have time to finish it, got an offer from another company.
