Atlassian

• WFH/remote
• Working with smart people

• Watching smart colleagues being unfairly PIP'd or managed out because they aren’t “promotion ready” in the time Atlassian expects. All the while we are tracked for how many interviews we complete. Fire and hire.

• Doing your job is not enough. You must be promoted from P30 to P40 in 2 years and P40 to P50 (senior) in 3 years. Up or out.

• Be ready to compete with your colleagues, not work collaboratively with them, thanks to stack ranking. It’s you versus the team.

• Executive leadership constantly asking for feedback and doing nothing with it. Being gaslit that it’s the price of change, then increasing bonuses for only very senior staff.

• Little, if any, budget for team events.

• Reduced investment in remote work (team gatherings are now only 2 days).

• All of this plus zero job security and zero psychological safety means I highly recommend another company, especially if you have a family and/or mortgage. The money is not worth it.

In the last 5 years, the share price has gone down. You don’t listen to your employees. You’ve removed all job security. You lead with fear and track metrics like PR count and interview count. Yet you expect a world-class engineering company? What have you done…
