Some great teams, some poor teams
Some great teams, some poor teams
If you land on a great team, consider these factors: interesting tech challenges, clever colleagues, autonomy, good compensation (for Australia), competent leadership, and excellent work-life balance.
If you land on a poor team:
- Hack and slash coding
- Continuous incidents
- Blame games
- Self-serving leadership
- Death marches
Ask how many people have left a team in the last six months before joining.
Y'all spend a lot of time assessing the impact of your engineers. Perhaps you should apply ever greater scrutiny to your M80s+. Some of them are bad leaders, and the fish rots from the head.

Senior Software Engineer
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. *
