Atlassian, Atlassian, and Atlassian. I had the interview last year, but I still find it valid. Atlassian tried to change its static and complacent brand by making a revelation in the interview process.

Being the first to:

• Offshore the interview How can I know about the people, culture, and daily routine of a company when I'm interviewing someone who might not have heard of Atlassian a few days before the interview?
• Run the same interview twice If I'm not qualified for a job for any reason, how can I be qualified after a few days with the same process?

Anyway, we loved Atlassian for being complacent; please don't be too cool.

Last year's interview didn't look like other years, and I'm sure it'll be different another year. It was a 30-minute code challenge with a buggy web-based text editor and five questions about load balancers. Imagine you're going to have an interview with F5, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Cloudflare, or any other companies that produce and sell load balancer products. I'm just wondering why any of them doesn't have questions about Jira.

All in all, the interview process is enough to show anyone why Atlassian is moving from one direction to another without any achievements. Somehow, Atlassian is throwing a ball and making decisions based on where it goes. Each year, they will change the interview process, then they will follow another direction.
