It was so much better
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
August 31, 2025
Pros: Better than average TC (in Aus).
Cons: Almost everything else that is not in the Pros section.
Our lovely CTO, along with Metamates, ruined the company’s culture.

Great Pay, Toxic Apex
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Sydney, Australia
August 25, 2025
Pros: Salary above market.
Good lunches.
Nice office.
Cons: APEX. If your position is higher than senior, run from this company. All your work for six months will come down to the fact that you are in constant stress about not working enough.
There is no transparency. Managers cannot tell you anything because they themselves do not know. They find out how well you work only during the APEX period, when your work is compared with others.
As a result, you either overwork so as not to be left at the end, or PIP.

I want to retire here
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
April 29, 2021
Pros: Work perks such as food, drinks, and generous allowances for equipment.
Open company with no BS. Everything is disclosed, and there are no loaded management emails or decisions that do not eventuate.
Great team; very easy to work with people in other teams and divisions.
Smart people and awesome managers who bring out the best in people.
Cons: Atlassian offers its staff miles more than any other company out there. Although the vast majority of staff value what Atlassian provides, there are some that expect more. Said staff should really work for other companies (e.g., investment banks) to appreciate what Atlassian has to offer.
