Atlassian

The assessment is a hard gate, you must clear it to reach the loop, and it is a timed coding test for engineers or a take-home case study for product roles. The loop is virtual-first and divides into craft-specific technical interviews, a leadership interview, and a values interview against the company's values, with the leadership and values rounds using behavioral and situational questions best answered in STAR form. Because the assessment gates everything that follows while the leadership and values rounds are previewed in advance, preparation splits cleanly: timed technical practice to pass the gate, and prepared examples for a loop whose themes you already know going in.

Atlassian runs two distinct early-careers programs:

• Summer Internship Program: for students in their penultimate year of undergraduate or postgraduate study; full-time, paid, working on real projects.
• Graduate Program (the "Gradlassian" Grad++ track): for final-year students and recent graduates; a 12-month learning journey with mentorship, where each engineering grad is matched to an engineering mentor, plus a Newlassian orientation and a TEAM Camp of technical and professional learning sessions.

Both span functions including software engineering (backend, frontend, mobile, fullstack), product design, and data science. The eligibility split matters for timing: the internship targets penultimate-year students and the graduate program final-year students, so the same person is typically eligible for the internship a year before the graduate role, and the grad track is a year-long structured commitment rather than a quick onboarding.

The graduate track is built as a structured 12-month program (Newlassian orientation, a TEAM Camp of learning sessions, and a matched engineering mentor) rather than a straight role placement, and early-careers hiring runs virtual-first across Australia and New Zealand, the United States and Canada, and India. For someone choosing where to spend a limited number of applications, the distinction is that an Atlassian graduate offer is a year-long developmental track with an external ranking behind it, not simply a first job title.
