I must have got my recruiter on a bad day, I really got the vibe she didn't want to be there.
I've been through the hiring process at Google (last round) and Amazon and this Atlassian interview was a bizarre experience. Phone screen consisted of 2 very pointed questions (she didn't even ask me to introduce myself), then the recruiter wrapped it up. I got the impression they were laser focussed on wanting the candidate to be good on paper rather than experience. ie: Do you have a background education in design? That's a strange way to determine whether someone is competent in design principles/techniques. That could have been asked in many other non-biased ways such as "Tell me a time you used UX techniques to validate an assumption or solve a problem."
Advice to Atlassian recruiters, if you're going to book a time in with someone actually interview them, get to know their experience and their personality rather than trying to shortcut the process (it's a 'Design' technique btw). Their time is as valuable as yours.
