Interview process started out with a phone interview with the recruiter and then a design lead. Interview with the the recruiter was lovely and I felt like I was a great fit. Following that I had an interview with the design lead. It did not go well. They were 10 minutes late, grilled me on questions without much clarification, misdirected me to answer some questions incorrectly, and on top of all that they talked a lot about their personal life. Later on I found out the lead designer had an old coworker that he had in mind and he ended up hiring.

By great leaps the best interview experience, I've had. At every step of the way, the Atlassian team was respectful, courteous, and professional. The process resembles many with the recruiter screening, director phone interview ( a portfolio review), an on-site (values interview, design challenge, and other meetings), and a follow up interview on behavior questions around work process. I feel that the Atlassian version of these was more thoughtful and process driven. It wasn't just a bunch of steps the team had to do. I was given feedback after the onsite which other big companies refuse to do.
