Loom (now part of Atlassian after the 2023 acquisition) built its reputation on async video communication, and that culture shows up in how they hire. Expect the process to be deliberate and async-friendly: initial conversations sometimes happen over recorded Loom videos before a live screen, which is a bit meta but tells you something about how they operate.
The typical loop for engineering roles runs 4-5 rounds: recruiter screen, a technical phone screen (data structures, some system design depending on level), a take-home or live coding round, and then a virtual onsite with 2-3 panels covering coding, system design, and behavioral. For PMs, expect a product sense round and a metrics/execution round in addition to behavioral.
Behavioral interviews here lean into collaboration and communication themes, which makes sense given the product. Think: how do you work across time zones, how do you handle async handoffs, how do you give feedback on work that matters. Loom values people who communicate clearly in writing and video, not just in live meetings. If you've worked on tools that help distributed teams, lean into that.
Post-acquisition, some teams are now hiring under Atlassian headcount and comp bands, so confirm which entity you're actually joining.
