first step was a phone interview which was very easy. After that there was a take home test. That was very easy. The manager style interview was all over the place with unclear and presumptive. I got the job and worked there, and it was relatively fine except for prima-donna attitudes backed by low to very low professionalism of most managers. Despite the claims the company has quite low rate of innovation going on and they move out of inertia based on some past ideas, so the spirit of innovation has pretty much evaporate. The most important part is that they changed the strategy for interviews to a Fishing method. They post nonexistent positions and do only the take at home test. The test is easy except for one item. That item is the whole point of the interview and is where Atlassian is looking for a solution to their current development needs. During the process the candidate accepts their conditions. There is no clause where Atlassian commits not to use the the solution offered by candidates in Atlassian products. It's probably not the first company doing this, but it's done on a large sacle and there are always "open" positions posted by the company.

The interview process consists of altogether five rounds. First is an online HackerRank test of five questions in 90 minutes. Four of the questions are average and one is more difficult. No need to solve all of them, important is to maximise points. Second is a 30 minutes non-technical Hangouts interview with an HR person. The talk is about motivations, previous work, familiarity with Atlassian etc. Third round is an hour long pair programming exercise where one needs to find some bugs and implement features for a user/group service. There are five tasks which is probably too much for the amount of time but the important is to be able to collaborate and take hints, and to write the correct tests to be able to find the bugs. The fourth round would be a technical interview and the fifth would be an interview with a chosen team.
