I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Atlassian (New York, NY) in Nov 2023
Interview
The full process is:
Resume Screen
Hackerrank OA, 100 minutes for 3 LC Medium (not super difficult but not that intuitive) -- need perfect to pass
Technical phone screen, 60 minute LC style, easier than the OA
Behavioral interview, 45 minutes with a senior engineer, going over STAR questions and assessing cultural fit (I sense if you've reached this stage and you're a normal person you'll probably get the offer)
My advice is study LC tagged for the OA and technical screen, especially those on array and string manipulation, know their cultural doc inside out for the last interview, and prepare 4-5 good stories for the STAR questions.

Tell me about a time when you mentored someone

I applied online. I interviewed at Atlassian (Sydney) in May 2026
Interview
AI assisted coding interview, the interviewer wasn't really guiding any of the coding process or the process when using the agent-- kind of just sat back. It was unclear on whether or not they wanted you to utilise the AI agent or not, it says that it's highly encouraged, but that ultimately led me to a rejection!
overall process took ~2 months (applied on Sept 9, received OA on 9/12 and did it on 9/20, round 1 10/18, round 2 11/3 --> call for offer 11/9)
- OA (90mins)-> 1st round (technical, 45 mins) -> behavioral w a engineering manager (45 mins)
- OA: had two or three qs i think
OA (3dsa questions) followed by an interview, gave a graphs question
The next round was going to be an HR round with focus on resume
Slightly on the difficult side
