I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Atlassian (McLean, VA)
Interview
2 interviews in 1 day at the start, one technical and one design. Both were done with proctors who asked questions surrounding the existing team I would be joining. I don't think the interview process was difficult and appreciated the discussion I had during the design interview.

Question 1
How would you design a system to handle rate limiting for an API?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Atlassian (Bengaluru) in Aug 2022
Interview
There will be total of 5 round including screen/coding round.
Once you clear the screen. After that they will take coding round, Design round, Craft round, Values round. Coding round is more focused towards data structures. In design they see if the candidate has clear knowledge about basic concepts for designing a production ready system. Craft round depend on the profile you are giving interview for. Values is similar to behaviour round where they see if you can fit into the company’s culture.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Atlassian
Interview
Two screening calls, one interview prep call, and six rounds of interviews. Coding rounds were very much of the "gotcha" variety. Beyond the basic requirements outlined at the start each had an additional, opinionated requirement, and there's no way to discover what that is until it's too late to refactor. If your solution (one of many possible, each with tradeoffs) contains the magic thing, Atlassian lets you through. Otherwise you're out.
Atlassian runs a large number of candidates through the interview process, then runs something closer to a lottery than an evaluation in order to whittle down the numbers. Not good for the candidates OR their employees having to constantly run interviews!
