Stack Ranking/PIP Hell: Avoid at all costs
Stack Ranking/PIP Hell: Avoid at all costs
- WFH
- I have to fill out more than five words.
With the new CTO and a whole slew of ex-Meta people taking over in the past 1.5 years, a once great, supportive, and productive, team-oriented culture has been taken out back and given the ol' yeller treatment. Very bad stack ranking, quotas, hire-and-fire, smart people getting let go, not to mention a nosedive in team collaboration and backstabbing to take credit for work, etc., to survive APEX review time. Truly a despicable outlook on things.
Avoid if you value WLB, your sanity, and don't want to be part of the FAANG+ PIP hell.
Fire everyone. Start over. Get rid of CTO ASAP.

I went through the full Atlassian interview pipeline over about 1.5 months, including: * Karat Live Coding – I passed two rounds. The interviewer changed the problem twice mid-session to make it harder, but I solved all versions successfully. *
