Summary

I applied for the P50 role at Atlassian through a recruiter outreach on LinkedIn. With ~6 years of experience, I went through a series of interviews covering system design, data structures, high-level design, management, and values alignment. While the Data Structures round was challenging and the Management round had some concerns, the rest of the interviews went well. The interviewers seemed satisfied with my performance overall.

Full Experience

My interview process at Atlassian started with a Karat round that included 5 system design rapid-fire questions, 2 coding questions, and I was able to code and run the first one but only discussed the approach for the second due to time constraints. In the Code Design round, I was tasked with managing a Customer Support service where agents receive ratings and needed to maintain this information to return a list of agents based on their average rating in decreasing order. The Data Structures round asked me to find the closest group (department) for a set of employees within an organisational hierarchy. The HLD round focused on a Popular Tagging System, emphasizing scaling tag-based search and popular tags. The Management round involved standard leadership questions and examples of projects with end-to-end ownership, along with scenario-based questions on mentorship and process changes. The Values round covered one question from each Atlassian value with follow-ups. My Data Structures round went ok-ish as I only solved the first part of the problem, taking more time than expected, leaving no time for follow-ups. The Management round had some concerns as the Senior Manager wasn't impressed with my answer on explaining a feature with end-to-end ownership. The rest of the interviews went well, and the interviewers seemed happy at the end.
