The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Atlassian (Sydney)
Interview
It was smooth and the HR did good job in getting information across. One think I didn't understand was getting rejected even after providing the best possible optimal solution to the problem and scratching my head now what did go wrong.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.

Karat has a demo of their interviews, so check this out. Leetcode and CS basics. Can't remember anything outstanding.
