First off, I wanted to say that I really appreciate that you took the time to meet with us and consider an opportunity with us. We're so glad we got the chance to learn more about you. Unfortunately, we've decided not to proceed with the interview process based on the last interview feedback. I'm so sorry it isn't better news! Anyone in the Atlassian interview panel can let me what do you check in system design round apart from the answer? Did well but rejected
Interviewers are snow flakes. One minor thing and reject or downlevel. As if 25 mins is good enough to entirely decide about a person's tech skills. In 45 min interview, after initial chit chat, you have 25 mins to answer their question.
Also, they have asked their LC or sys design question multiple times and are supposed to know the question in and out and have seen it solved multiple times. Sys design imo is even worse since it’s so broad and especially if the interviewer is looking for something specific or domain related. Ex: build Snapchat stories and they go in-depth into RDMS (unless obviously the role is RDMS)
I didn’t get hired for a senior role because I had a person with 4 yoe do my system design interview and he said my system design skills were junior level. Despite getting 3 strong hires from the hm and two other seniors who both had over 10+ yoe. Just how it goes because the selection process for interviewers are non existent.
Dodged a bullet. Be happy
My interview went very well at Atlassian before few months. I was able to solve 2 LC medium without any hint/help in less than 30 mins. Interviewer appreciated but still I was rejected.. Looks like they will interview just to keep in backup in case offered candidate didnot join.
Standard rejection email. Almost every company uses this template or a variation.
Most companies don't seem to be really interviewing for actual roles, they are just collecting a database of candidates
I think they’re interviewing, but at a certain point they have to shut off the pipeline of applications. They’re getting hundreds of applications for one role. They probably didn’t even look at his resume but are saving it in the resume bank.
I do also keep database of such unethical companies, period
I can add something here, not sure how other interviewers do. But here are some pointers. 1. How good you're communicating 2. How good and solid understanding you have of all of the components added 3. Trade-offs 4. How good you covered fault tolerance like if this went down, that went down. 5. How would you handle 10x traffic, what changes you need in current architecture. Any way there is big list, if you missed something for sure you will be down levelled, reason most of the people joined here have been down levelled and unfortunately now it's part of the culture.
There are only 3 questions, 1 for each round and that's it. The Atlassian interview process is the shittiest I have ever seen. The interviewers themselves are not very knowledgeable. One of my friends got a rate limiter problem, he coded one solution and the interviewer couldn't even understand the complexity even after explaining multiple times. There were apparently 2 loops and according to the interviewer, if there are two loops, it's not linear. Most of them need to study basic DSA, I have multiple such stories. So when people don't have the brains to understand the technical depth, they start nit picking on something trivial such as communication blah blah... One of the interviewers was hiding crucial information to solve the problem which was almost certainly required. The candidate took separate assumptions and solved the problem in 3 different ways, still no hire. Because, the candidate had to think and guess what's inside the tiny brain of the interviewer. All these candidates were long time Googlers with solid performance inside the company and a very strong educational background.
Agree with Google. I have been in so many debriefs and I can't tell you how nit picky they get. I also agree that most of our interviewers lack fundamental CS knowledge
Move on. Not a good company to be at .
Same question bruhh, answered 4 DSA in 1 hr. 1 easy, 2 med, 1 hard (with a lil bit discussion) still got rejected in first round itself. Had no idea what happened 🥲
At least they let you interview, I just got rejected immediately
Sigh, I got an email that said they have no positions for me. “Thanks for your interest in Atlassian. We’ve reviewed your application and it caught our eye, however, we aren’t actively hiring for roles that would be a great match with your experience.That said, we do expect to have new roles that might suit your skill set very soon. As we continue to grow, we’re adding more people and would like to revisit your application again in the future. Thanks again for your interest in Atlassian.”
Same. I've been auto-rejected from Atlassian referrals. It's hilariously bad. I would have loved to work there and wanted to for a long time.
