Atlassian

I found the people and the open culture to be the best part of the company. From onboarding to exiting, it was a really awesome experience.

They'll do just about anything to make you feel comfortable and "ready for action".

In my very short period of time, there is a sense of entitlement among the younger staff. Atlassian provides food, drinks, ice creams, etc., and I still heard people complaining during lunchtime.

It's growing too fast, so half the staff have only been at the company for less than a year, and the knowledge base has been diluted a bit.

There is a huge amount of "cult" or culture, especially around work/life balance. I did feel as if I was being monitored, and having a regular schedule of in/out was a no-no. So, if you have a family, make sure you discuss the very real potential of spending a serious amount of time in the office with them.

New hires should have a bit more experience and diverse backgrounds.

As the company grows and becomes a little more corporate (which is inevitable as shareholders will want "more and more"), these young guns will soon find themselves out of their depth.
