Cons: - Too many strategy changes in the short term, ambiguous long-term goals.
- Too much expected from ICs in terms of task variety and task complexity.
- Everybody is on their toes due to performance reviews.

Anxiety-Driven Development
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Great people and great remuneration!
Cons: Atlassian’s biggest flaw isn’t the tech, it’s the management. Instead of building trust or giving clear direction, they try to “motivate” people through pressure and fear.
The result? Teams constantly scrambling, rushing features just to hit arbitrary dates. Corners get cut, bugs slip through, and everyone’s too anxious to speak up. It’s not innovation—it’s survival.

Going through a rough patch.
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
August 18, 2025
Pros: Still lots of benefits working at Atlassian:
* WFH
* Events throughout the year
* Generous compensation
* Work with good people
Cons: Stressful performance review.
Top priorities keep shifting.
Everything is a top priority, apparently.
Little faith in leadership.
