Pros

Great people and great remuneration!

Cons

Atlassian’s biggest flaw isn’t the tech, it’s the management. Instead of building trust or giving clear direction, they try to “motivate” people through pressure and fear. The result? Teams constantly scrambling, rushing features just to hit arbitrary dates. Corners get cut, bugs slip through, and everyone’s too anxious to speak up. It’s not innovation—it’s survival.
