I had three coding interviews with Atlassian. After the third interview and sacrificing over two months of my time, I had a hire decision at P30, but they only had roles at P40 available.

A short while later, I was contacted on LinkedIn by another Atlassian recruiter who asked if I'd be interested in another role. I indicated that I would be interested, but received no response. I had to follow up a few times before the recruiter scheduled a phone call.

The recruiter did not make the call at the scheduled time. I followed up, and the recruiter claimed that she had called but I didn't answer (there was no missed call on my mobile, so that was obviously untrue).

I gave her the benefit of the doubt and rescheduled. She let me know at the last moment that she couldn't make the call and had to reschedule. I made time in my schedule for the call, making special arrangements etc. She did not call.

Atlassian, I have 15 years of experience as a software engineer, yet the requirements to join your company are so tough. Why do your recruiters not live up to the same standard? How does a person like that get hired, but a software engineer with extensive experience is treated with such disregard?

Atlassian may sound good on paper, but they have zero respect for candidates' time.

Can we schedule a call?

Can we reschedule the call?

Can we schedule the call again?
