I have a first round with Atlassian and Dropbox. Any advice for PM interviews at either places? How is the culture at both places?
About to join Atlassian as a Sr. PM and the 3 major pieces of advice that I can give you are: 1. Read the core values of Atlassian thoroughly. Atlassian is known for its work culture and they take it very seriously. They expect their employees to exhibit the same set of values. It is important that you exhibit these traits consistently throughout your interview. 2. Research the product you are interviewing for. Be sure you can talk about the product, its users, it's future etc. I think I scored points because I demonstrated that I took the time to research and that I could participate in healthy conversation on the product. 3. Be excited that you have been given the opportunity to interview and that the prospect of working at Atlassian excites you. The interviews themselves were not stressful and for me, they felt a lot more like conversations. Went through 5 rounds and was a great experience overall. Best of luck!
Idk which team you’re interviewing for here, but culture is solid at Atlassian. Some groups have more exciting work, PM rigor, and visibility but that goes for all companies. There are a lot of PMs here, so it can feel like there are many cooks in the kitchen.
Thank you so much for the insight. What do you think is the best way to prep for the interview? I’m extremely interested in Atlassian!
