Process
The process began with a recruiter call to discuss why I chose Atlassian and my background. This was followed by a first interview with a manager who asked a series of technical questions.
A week later, I progressed to two back-to-back interviews conducted over BlueJeans. The first interview involved a presentation about a past project. The second was a coding test in Java, which required writing JUnit tests.
The recruiter contacted me a few days later with news of my rejection. The feedback provided was "the project was not technical enough," which I found unreasonable. The project included various system and scalability designs, so I am unsure what they were looking for.
All recruiters I spoke with were extremely nice and knowledgeable about the company, making for a very smooth and pleasant experience.
Questions
The manager interview focused on core questions regarding Python, Java, multi-threading, version control, networking, and system design.
First video interview: Present a project you have done in detail for 45 minutes.
Second interview: OOP design in Java for 45 minutes.

Atlassian Work Experiences
- 3.0Great Company, Long HoursSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeJanuary 16, 2023Pros: This company is so great.Cons: Long hours at some points.
- 5.0Fantastic place to work in uncertain timesSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSydney, New South Wales, AustraliaNovember 29, 2021Pros: Atlassian has done a great job supporting all employees throughout the last few very strange years. With extra days off, open and honest conversations about mental health, free mental health and wellness resources and services, generous budgets for buying WFH equipment, and a culture that is far more about ensuring that everyone is doing their best than hitting every target every time, it has made the last two years far less stressful for me. The people that I have worked with in this company have all been fantastic—helping each other out, pushing each other to try new things, and generally creating an amazing work environment.Cons: I really miss the office life, and with Atlassian's stance on working from home (no one will ever need to work from an office again), I don't think we will ever get that back.
- 3.0Used to be greatSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSydney, New South Wales, AustraliaOctober 23, 2023Pros: Good compensation. Working with talented people.Cons: Culture has changed dramatically over the past year. It no longer feels unique and started to become another Meta.
