Great, depending on the team you are
Great, depending on the team you are
- Lots of opportunities for innovation and growth if you are really motivated and a self-starter.
- If you are lucky, you get to work with a lot of super-smart people on great products and exciting projects.
- Fast-growing company, good for the resume, lots of visibility to the market outside.
- Many extra-work activities to join (yoga, pilates, soccer, fitness class).
If you are unlucky, there are also:
- Bad managers are everywhere (3 to 1).
- Some projects are not interesting, and you might get stuck there. Be careful when choosing (if you are given the opportunity to choose).
- The silos are there. People relocating usually will have to stick mostly with other overseas people. There is not a lot of "local" cultural interchange.
- The management career path is much easier to progress than the technical. Most people will never make it past senior level if they don't become managers.
Atlassian is definitely a great place to work. The positive experiences are far greater than the poor ones. However, as the company grows, it's important to invest in your managers (TL level) so they can invest in their people. Try to identify bad managers early and help them improve instead of promoting them. Try not to keep people on less exciting projects for long periods of time.
