Atlassian

The best reason would be the money and the perks. They are still the best in this area with office food, parties, expenses for gatherings, a flexible wallet to spend on sports, books, activities, travel, and more.

Technology is interesting in some teams, it depends where you are. You can work on very cool stuff, like AI etc.

Atlassian was great until they introduced stack ranking. Now twice a year, you basically need to justify your existence all the time. People became competitive and selfish; there is lots of back-stabbing and politics. It is rare to find someone that would prioritize the customer or the team before themselves.

Managers are too far from engineers and are not very technical. That makes it even harder.

Stop the stack ranking and start thinking about what motivates people to do a good job (hint: it is not money).

People would do a good job when they feel appreciated by their managers and when their managers are close and working with the team and don't need to manage 18+ people.

Currently, the motivation is very low, and we can see it directly in the quality.
