It replaced “did you go to a top university” and “do you know our exact stack and tools” as the top hiring practice. Now anyone can compete for the same jobs from anywhere in the world. It’s a leveller, in my mind. I applied to Atlassian as a 50 year old from South Africa who has very broad and deep experience but has never worked in big tech. Failed at the last interview (of 5) but I found the process and feedback very fair and much better than others I’ve seen elsewhere. The focus was on collaboration and communication and not being a jerk, along with the problems to be solved. I enjoyed it.
