Atlassian

• Good pay
• Work from home
• Stock options, good bonus, and refreshers

There are many things which I figured out in my 2-year tenure.

An organization building project management/agile software, like Jira, does not utilize Jira well. Their processes are terribly bad and unclear.

Atlassian Real Values:

• Blame game
• People pleasing
• Demotivation
• Negative mindset
• Politics and bringing people down to climb up the ladder

Managers create an empire of senior engineers irrespective of whether they have work or not to grow.

You will be judged based on failures only, which might not even be relevant.

Arrogance in managers; juniors or new members are treated badly.

Actually, nobody cares about how employees feel. There are internal employee surveys, but feedback is not taken into account. Leadership will do whatever pleases them.

Avoid the Data Portability team. Hell load of work, frequently changing expectations, and pressure to meet deadlines. The majority of the work does not even have any significant impact. Join at your own risk.

• For once in a year, genuinely come and ask your employees how they are feeling. You folks are busy grilling people. All social media posts about how employee-friendly this org is are subjective and not applicable to all teams.

• Please stop having OKRs w.r.t. how many people to hire in a quarter and focus on the work that needs to be done in order to grow the company. Hire people then accordingly to achieve the growth. Growth is brought in by the value you add and not how many people you hire.
