I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Atlassian
Interview
Smooth and professional. Interview was remote. There were multiple calls combined into two sessions. Manager and potential colleagues were involved. All questions were focused on product management skills for teamwork and previous product experience.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Atlassian (Sydney)
Interview
After six rounds of interviews and no offer at the end. Not a structured approach to the interview questions. Very dependent on the person who is interviewing you. More than 6 weeks process, at least the recruiter provided good guidance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the roadmap for an MVP product? Very broad question expected to be answered briefly.... Unrealistic expectations.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Atlassian in Jul 2023
Interview
Came together quickly - got an email from the recruiter, they called on time, they asked questions but seemed to be distracted and didn't really seem engaged in the process - from the beginning to the end, it felt scripted. I was expecting something amazing and had prepared well, and I ended up shocked by the overall unprofessional approach of the recruiter - a senior recruiter - and wondered if this was really the way Atlassian wanted to be known...
I was approached on LinkedIn by a recruiter. The process progressed fast and the guidance from recruiter on what to expect and also feedback from the past interviews all were excellent. Everything was peachy until I finished all the interviews. Then the very responsive recruiter went totally MIA. After following up a couple of times, I gave up. The out of the blue a few weeks later he called up and said that they are still considering me and just needs to hear back from the hiring manager. It has been 4 months, there is no communication. I thought they would have the decency to close the loop in a graceful way with a candidate who spent significant time and effort towards preparing for and appearing on interviews. But I guess the 'great culture' that they harp about only starts once you are employed with them and is not extended to the candidates on the interview loop.

Question 1
Questions about my current role. Pick a digital product you like, why do you like it, compare with its competitors. Same with a physical product.
