Process
Connected with a recruiter and had an introductory call (talked about myself and Atlassian values, etc.).
I was then sent a coding challenge in which you needed to pass two out of five problems.
The first one was LeetCode easy, the second a hard LeetCode medium. I had about 10 minutes left to try another, but the third one definitely would have taken at least another 30 minutes.
After passing the coding challenge, you get a technical phone screen by an engineering manager.
Final: Two video calls:
- In-depth discussion about one of your projects for 45 minutes.
- General tech fundamentals and OOP/general tech questions.
Questions
Why Atlassian?
Design a basic data structure and write API methods for it.
What's the difference between a process and a thread?
Difference between list, set, and map?
What are the principles of OOP? What is polymorphism?
Was this helpful?

Different From What I Thought
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Sydney, Australia
January 21, 2022
Pros: - Top talents
- Exciting product
- Code is clean and engineering practice is good
- Focus on engineering and innovation
Cons: - Very political (at least in the current team), very surprised to find that it is so much more political than any of my previous experience. If you happened to be "liked", then all good, but if that's not the case, then good luck.
- Very team-dependent. If you are unlucky and are allocated to a team where the manager does not really support you well or the team culture is not so good, it would be very hard for you to progress.
- Not very inclusive. For example, some people with loud personalities are more welcomed and become popular, but this is not the case for some other people.
- Too much depends on presentation, meaning just doing things is not enough. You have to show and "brag about it" in order to gain recognition, reputation, and visibility. This is understandable, but it is a bit much.

Great company to work for
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Pros: The company culture is really amazing. The decisions are transparent, and employees are considered first before anything else.
Ability to choose to work from home or go to the office.
A wide range of extra activities, such as voluntary work and donations (which are matched by the company too).
Cons: There were few who were affected negatively because of "team anywhere" (ability to work from anywhere). Personally, I believe it was a problem with communication; if it had been communicated better, it could have been avoided.
