      Software Engineer Interview

      5 Nov 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Atlassian

      Interview

      It starts off with a phone screen at the beginning and then an online test which is relatively easy and deals with algorithmic style questions (You only need to answer 2 of the questions). Then there's an onsite interview that is "Coding", "Technical" and "Whiteboard". The coding interview is just a simple stack question. The Technical interview is all about random questions about the implementation of data structures and what 'classes' or 'interfaces' are. The whiteboard interview is you sitting there talking and using a whiteboard to describe a project that you have worked on. My experience was pretty negative because the Coding interviewers said that my answer was wrong in the feedback even though during the interview they said "Yeah it looks like you've got it" which was very strange. The technical interviewers seemed to really not enjoy that I was describing interfaces from a software architecture standpoint and not from a layman's standpoint so there was a bit of a communication failure there. But they labeled that as having "a technical knowledge gap" which is a very weird criticism as I have demonstrable experience with java in the form of building Android games using all sorts of data structures and fast algorithms while making it architecturally sound. The Whiteboard interview was by far the worst. The two interviewers were clearly checked out of the entire process. I was describing very technical distributed computing project and was trying to make sure that they were following along and asked them to stop me at anytime they felt that I was being unclear. Their feedback was that my project was not "technical" enough because I had no UI or customer facing requirements which is absolutely asinine. Mind you, they didn't specify what they were looking for during the whiteboard interview. My advice to Atlassian would be to make sure that their interviewers are actually engaged in the interviews and that they at least put in some effort in their criticism instead of giving completely insane feedback (especially that my project was not 'technical enough' because it had no UI!)

      I interviewed at Atlassian (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out to me then ghosted in the middle of trying to set up a meeting. Very disrespectful of my time. Just as well, how a company treats candidates is usually a good indicator of how they treat employees
