Entrevista
1. Atlassian Recruiter approached me. We scheduled a Karat interview, and I took the test. 2. Karat Interview format. 60 minutes: 5 minutes for introductions, 25 minutes for 5 system design questions, and 30 minutes for two programming questions. Yes, CRAZY!!! 2. I failed my first Karat interview. Reason: Failure on Karat and Atlassian to set expectations. The interviewer and Atlassian expected 6-7 examples for each system design question, but they both failed to tell me that. The interviewer was pushing to move to the next question because he needed to ask all questions in time (poor guy was just doing his job and following the format he has been trained to do). 3. I re-did the Karat interview, since they allow one redo. This time I did not let the interviewer move to the next system design question until I had given good detailed quality answers. Next came the coding round. Karat says in their FAQ, "don't spend time gold-platting your solution", and that they "access on code completion". So I did both, but they rejected me based on coding round this time by nit-picking on code quality (aka not gold platted). I think Atlassian are looking for speed programmers who can work in high pressure environment, and that is a huge red-flag for me. Advice to Atlassian: Extend the interview by 30 minutes. Cover 2 high quality system design questions in 30 minutes, and one coding question in the remaining time. Please focus on quality rather than quantity. Allow candidates time to gold-plate if that's what you are looking for. Advice to Karat: You are going to lose business if you do not push back to Atlassian and improve the interview process.

The questions are not based on leetcode, so don't even waste time on that. Just do some easy and medium questions to get in practice and you should be fine.

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.

- 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.

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.
