About the company

Atlassian builds collaboration and work management software used by product, engineering, IT, and business teams. Atlassian is best known for Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management, and Atlassian also owns products like Loom and Trello. Atlassian sells primarily to organisations that need to plan work, track delivery, manage services, and share knowledge across teams. Atlassian operates globally and reports serving more than 300,000 customers.

Locations and presence

Atlassian runs a “Team Anywhere” distributed-work approach where most roles can work from home, an Atlassian office, or a mix, subject to country and role requirements. Atlassian lists office locations across hubs including San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Austin, Sydney, Bengaluru, Amsterdam, and Manila, alongside a wider set of operating countries.

Palpable Score

79.8

/ 100

Atlassian is one of the clearer early-career employers in tech because Atlassian publishes both a dedicated Early Careers pathway and a detailed interview guide that spells out what candidates should expect. The strongest differentiator is learning support, where Atlassian ties graduate hiring to a year-long Grad++ journey plus structured onboarding and mentoring. The main limits are outcome transparency and stability signals, since Atlassian does not publish conversion or retention rates and Atlassian has had recent support-function job cuts.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

17.5

/ 20

The company runs a defined Early Careers track that includes a Summer Internship Program and a Graduate Program, rather than only posting generic “entry-level” roles inside the main jobs board.
Atlassian posts named graduate roles for the next intake cycle (for example “Software Engineer, 2026 Graduate” and “Machine Learning Engineer, 2026 Graduate”) alongside internship roles with fixed program dates.
The company hires early-career talent across multiple geographies and functions, including internship postings that reference locations such as Seattle and graduate hubs, plus early-career hiring visible in APAC and EMEA postings.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.8

/ 20

The company publishes an Early Careers Interview Guide that sets expectations for an assessment step plus an interview loop of 3 to 4 interviews, with virtual-first interviews for interns and graduates.
Atlassian job descriptions include explicit accommodations language for candidates who need adjustments at any stage of recruitment, alongside equal opportunity language.
The company does not provide a single, standard stage-by-stage timeline by job family and region, and candidates still have to rely on recruiter guidance to understand turnaround times and how assessments vary between teams.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

18.5

/ 20

The company describes a 12-month Grad++ program that starts with “Newlassian Orientation” and a 4–6 week engineering onboarding block (“TEAM Camp”) before continuing with grad-exclusive learning and events.
Atlassian commits to structured mentoring for engineering graduates, including matching each new engineering graduate with an engineering mentor for ongoing 1:1 support alongside manager support.
The company positions internships as a learning-heavy program with hands-on technical training, professional growth opportunities, and dedicated mentorship, and Atlassian backs this with benefits pages that include learning resources and a tuition learning budget in some countries.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

15.5

/ 20

The company publishes numeric pay ranges on many North America early-career postings, including hourly intern ranges and graduate base salary ranges broken out by U.S. geographic pay zones.
Atlassian explains how geographic pay zones work in the United States and links candidates to the pay-zone map, which makes remote pay less opaque than most peers.
The company offers substantial benefits in multiple countries (for example remote work allowances, wellness support, and paid parental leave in the Philippines benefits outline), but Atlassian does not publish pay ranges consistently across all global postings.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

13.5

/ 20

The company links early-career hiring to a structured first-year experience (Grad++ learning, mentoring, and grad community), which improves the odds that graduates build usable skills and internal networks in year one.
Atlassian publicly discussed growing graduate intake in engineering-related hiring for February 2026 compared with the prior year, which is a positive signal for early-career continuity in core technical tracks.
The company has not published early-career outcomes such as internship conversion rates, time-to-promotion, or retention, and recent 2025 customer support layoffs add uncertainty for early-career hires targeting support-adjacent paths.
