Interview was long but in the end they offered me the job. Just asked me questions about myself and how long I planned to be there. It was good and I got the job.

This was seriously a waste of time unfortunately. First the recruiter claimed my email went to their junk mail when we were setting up an initial time for a phone screen. I heard back almost a week later after I immediately responded. (Which means they were already moving people forward). Then I got pushed back two more times (which again due to time frame ohters were already moving forward) By the time we finally got to speak this recruiter didn't take any time to get to know my skillz, or ask any direct questions that would relate to the role. I had to lead the conversation and ask "would you like me to explain my resume and achievements etc" The recruiter started the call with "Hi I have some HR questions so we are going to get started" Very impersonal and reading from a script. By the end it was we will know by Wed if we are moving foward. I already knew I was not going to move forward because it was so rushed and I felt like they already had the candidates and they only had the meeting since it was pushed so many times. I would recommend just cancel a phone screen if you already have the candidates moving forward and train recruiters to be more mindful.

Step 1 Recruitment interview (30 min) described the process of 5 interviews: -before each interview candidate to receive a pre-brief -after each interview candidate to receive a feedback -the process is to determine suitability/seniority/remuneration -identified who the hiring manager were -interviews are to follow the STAR method Step 2 Hiring Manager (senior EA) interview (30 min): -introduction, goals, strengths, growth areas Step 3 ‘EA as a craft’ interview (90 min) with current EA and departmental Chief of Staff: -I was pre-briefed on having to walk through my career history from high school up till today: experience & how values evolved -Despite letting the interviewers know of my pre-brief, I was told they prepared some questions for me so I couldn’t really use my notes Step 4 Values interview (45 minutes) with a software architect: -the interviewer showed greater interest in how I answer his randomly, on the spot picked questions than finding out my relevant values -some of these questions were irrelevant (at least for an EA) ‘did you ever had a first impression that later proved to be wrong’? Nothing came to mind on the spot, so couldn’t answer the question. Apparently that was ‘fine, happens to others too’. -‘Explain to me a project change of scope and how you handled it?’ Answer: I project managed and launched a quarterly media product in a very short timeframe (3 months) that was an instant customer success. I had no previous experience and processes had to be established by scratch, it was supplier funded and the 1st issue was close to break even. Even though there wasn't a change of scope but I did not know what I was doing (impostor syndrome) and just took one day at a time. The Verdict: -after 1 week of not receiving any feedback I reached out to recruitment -I was told my values are clearly great but based on my answers provided at the values interview I failed: ‘Answers lacked depth and didn’t demonstrate key learnings.’ -I was advised in 12 months’ time I can re-apply to Atlassian
