Atlassian uses a first screening where the ask you to write some code, refactor code, analys code and answer some questions about what you think about the industry trends etc.
I think that is a smart thing to do but I also think a lot of companies out there is missing out on a lot of talent when focusing so much on the technical part that people with more broader knowledge (not just technical) don't really get the chance to sell them self and show how the can contribute.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 6+ weeks)
I began the process through a personal referral. Next was a conversation with the hiring manager and a writing test (details confidential). Following that, an interview with other writers at the company.
All of the above occurred by phone because I am located in regional Australia.
Then they wanted me to meet with a higher-level manager and one of their HR Talent managers, which sounded very, very promising! That's where things stopped for me.
They required that these next conversations occur via Skype or other video call applications rather than phone. Accommodation in the town in which I live is very scarce. Most singles share in situations that are far from ideal. One side effect of this is that the only Internet access is through poor-throughput, high-latency mobile broadband, in locations that are not necessarily private or distraction-free. It often offers barely twice the speed of old school dial-up, and frequently disconnects entirely. None of my friends have fixed-line Internet due to accommodation limitations and the cost of living pressures here.
Wanting to make this work, I looked for a business centre that might have an office to rent hourly. The best I could do was one equipped with Internet (but still requiring bring-your-own-computer-with-webcam) for about $300 a day, minimum price.
Atlassian offered no alternative beyond "just let us know when you are in the situation to do a Skype call" when I explained the regional limitations. Being between positions, and being single with no one to fall back upon if my savings run short, I cannot justify using my own funds to travel to Sydney to speak with them in person either. Therefore, the process stalled in its tracks.
I have to face facts: It looks like Atlassian is just not that into me. It might be because I haven't convinced them that I'd be an asset to their organisation, or because they're not interested in candidates who'd ever be willing to live in regions that lack technical amenities that are considered quite basic in cities like Sydney.
I'm very disappointed. My background and my enthusiasm for technology would make me a great fit there, and I want to have the best chance I can to demonstrate that. I just caught the short end of the stick because of the lack of good communications infrastructure where I live. I've done interviews with bad communications links before. None of those went well, and none of them progressed to the next stage of the interview process. I'm reluctant to try it in this case, with an employer that very much interests me.
If they're not sure about me as a Technical Writer, perhaps there's another role they have in mind that would better suit?

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I applied for Java Developer at Atlassian. The interview consisted of pre-screen, phone interview, pair programming and technical interview and final manager interview. I have been preparing for one week and got through until technical interview where I failed in describing my previous job application. The environment seems good and people are friendly. My advice for other people applying for the job would be preparing for knowledge about Java basic knowledge, threads, IO operations. And also prepare for scalable web application and distributed system questions. You'd better prepare to describe a project you worked before and can draw it on the whiteboard.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 2 days)
HR coordinator arranged interview with senior person after I had submitted my resume. Interview took around 45 minutes, and was not particularly deep or demanding. Interviewer indicated they would follow-up with me within a couple of weeks. I sent follow-up but never heard back from them.
Very amateurish.

Interviewed May 2010 in Sydney (Australia) (took 5 weeks)
First they emailed some screening questions. They are standard Java questions, as an experienced Java developer I have no problems with it.
After sending my answers back they arranged a phone interview a few days later. Again they asked mostly Java questions, topics including array, List, Map, equals()/hashcode(), some design patterns. Solid Java programmers should have no problems with these questions, but there're a few of them that are a bit harder, you'll need to be more hardcore person to answer all of them correctly.
I didn't get two of the hard ones in the phone interview right, but they still progress me to next round. It's a coding test with a programmer. He showed me a piece of confusing code, and a junit test case. The test was failing, and I have to find the bug in the code so the test will pass. It's actually not that hard, but I was quite nervous so it took me quite a while to find the bug and fix it. The guy basically sit next to you and watch you coding, like a pair programming. You can talk to him about your thoughts.
This is actually a very tough test for those who's not comfortable with pair programming or being watched. I can be more efficient when working alone. They ask you about your favorite IDE before the coding test, you can choose either IntelliJ or Eclipse, or notepad if you like.
I didn't think I do well in the coding test but they still progress me tho next round. (I have to go, I'll finish this later)

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Sydney (Australia) (took 3 weeks)
Very hard series of interview & tests [including coding] - to get only very good people - took us 6 for me. Only the best should apply - you will be filtered out very quickly anyway.
Nice office, great work culture, pay seems about same as other similar firms.
Thanks you gift after we parted ways.
