I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Atlassian (Sydney) in Oct 2020
Interview
I was asked for screen sharing 2 coding rounds. I could manage to solve both of them and answered why choose the specific data structure, was explaining enough while designing and coding.
I did follow TDD approach and covered lots of scenarios to test the program.
I was bit nervous in first round so did one small mistake and forgot to re visit/refactor that.
Other than that I could manage to even solve challenges interviewer was throwing by changing problem statement.
They kept adding difficult level and observe you how you design and code it. I have done well in that.
Feedback I received:
- My coding was like entry level developer and wasn't close to mid level, which I don't agree as I wrote clean code , followed TDD, was explaining enough in each step for each function for each loop, wrote comment, followed best coding practices to name functions, variables etc.
good :
- Whoever took interview they make you feel comfortable and give hints when you get stuck.
bad :
- Recruiter haven't even took effort to switch camera on when giving me feedback. Unpleasant experience.
- Not much convinced with feedback, I feel they have enough applications and filtering most of them. They should not waste time of candidates if they have lots of applications.
- Whole process was waste of time, I feel they have enough applications and no value for people.
- I felt they haven't accessed me properly and decided based on one simple mistake.

Question 1
Rate Limit Program and
Design and develop Voting system
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Atlassian
Interview
I had first Karat round and then 1 DSA, 1 LLD, 1 HLD, 1 Behavioural and 1 manager Interview. Overwall they do nitpick alot and only expect the solution in specific way and if your answer is different than they expect, they rate you bad
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Atlassian (Istanbul) in Feb 2026
Interview
I passed six levels of interviews without a problem, but in the end, they said they closed the position. The technical and values interviews were complete nonsense. Anyone can pass with proper preparation. Especially the management and values interviews. But I was really frustrated because they said they closed the role one day after I passed all the interviews. A company that interviews you about values has no respect for you at all. I spent time, effort, and hope on this.

Question 1
- Screening standard pretty basic questions
- Technical (coding) I and II interview is mid level leetcode question but they request an update after completing. They may cause a time problem.
- System Design is mid level system design. But interviewer didn't understand the technologies I use a bit.
- Management and Values interview corporate nonsense. Search or ask AI example questions and create stories if don't have. They are asking question like you have been encountered all types of dispute at previous jobs.

I am going to highlight some of my experiences below.
I felt the interview process was designed to set one up to fail and a waste of my valuable time.
Firstly pitting candidates through numerous coding tests under a tight time schedule is not the way to see through another human. While I conducted all the coding tests and completed the results successfully, I still did not pass through to the next round.
During these tests, I was asked to hold the screen so that a screen capture could be taken. This was a red flag suggesting the interviewer was not following my thorough explanation of the solutions I was implementing. Especially that the language I was using was not known to them and more particularly that I was extremely careful to ensure I deliver each and every thought I was making deliberately. The process felt unprofessional and one way. I did not feel confident in the interviewer's skills especially with regards to communication and etiquette.
Two other red flags I have is the lack of feedback the company can provide. If you can't provide genuine feedback to your candidates and are concerned of legal repercussions; then you must be hiding something! Also the fact that one has to perform another technical test with an external organization does not give me confidence in this organization.
The recruiter initially presents a very bright picture of how good it is to work in this organization and are open to proper follow through however later this felt more like a carrot dangling tactic. After putting much effort to ensure successful delivery, I felt this was an unfair process despite trying to put my best human foot forward.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions typically asked were along the lines of:
"Find a list of X to fit Y items in provided some other condition."
(I don't want to give away too much).
This is typical to a leet code question at medium difficulty.
