Process

The interview process with Atlassian was a very positive experience. Each of the recruiters was very professional, providing great advice and excellent feedback in a timely manner. The interviewers were easy to get along with, guided the interviews smoothly, and provided great insight into working at the company.

The whole process took about six weeks between first contact and receiving an offer, though this was mostly due to my own schedule constraints. The process could be completed much faster for a candidate with more time available.

The interview process consisted of six stages:

  1. Phone Screening with a recruiter. This was a short 30-minute call with one of the recruiters. The conversation was relaxed and focused on my career interests and how they could align with the role.

  2. Coding Interview 1. This was a 60-minute interview with an engineer where the goal was to design an API rate limiter. The interviewer was knowledgeable about the task and provided great direction, advice, and feedback.

  3. Coding Interview 2. This was another 60-minute interview with an engineer where the goal was to design a voting system that could determine a winner given a list of votes.

  4. System Design Interview. This interview involved designing a tagging system for Atlassian products. The interviewer, an engineer, guided the interview well, gave good advice, and continually probed the design for improvements.

  5. Values Interview. This interview was conducted by a developer and asked questions that related my experiences to Atlassian's core values. The discussion was well-structured but relaxed.

  6. Management Interview. This interview was with the manager of the team I was assigned to. The questions again asked me to relate past experiences to qualities of interest, such as leadership and resourcefulness.
