Questions Asked:
1. File Explorer (Coding Round - System Design + Implementation)

• I was asked to implement a simplified File Explorer UI component using React.
• Requirements included:
  • Display a folder tree structure from nested JSON.
  • Clicking a folder expands/collapses its children.
  • Support for lazy-loading subfolders via mock API call.
• Follow-up: Discussed how this would scale in a large enterprise setup and how to manage performance.

2. Design Kanban Board (Frontend System Design)

• I was asked to whiteboard a Kanban Board (like Trello).
• Focus Areas:
  • Component breakdown and reusable architecture.
  • State management strategy (I proposed React + Zustand for simplicity, and discussed Redux for scaling).
  • Drag and drop interactions (I mentioned react-beautiful-dnd vs dnd-kit).
  • Data fetching and caching (I proposed React Query).
  • How to handle optimistic UI updates.

3. Behavioral Round (Structured STAR Format)

• Questions focused on collaboration, ownership, and Atlassian values.

Hello, Can you please let me know what was the question for JS round in coding?

[anon_717297]

the JS question was literally File Navigation

[anon_909745]

I have 2 rounds machine coding and browser coding, I have seen this file explorer for browser coding and was wondering what was another question that was asked? did you clear the final round ?

[anon_244550]

did you end up passing?

how strict were they on styling during the coding round? have this in a couple days and am just curious. The logic/architecture of the component is tricky but not too difficult once you have your head wrapped around it.
