Pros
  • Great pay
  • Recognisable name
Cons
  • Everyone's out for themselves and themselves only.
  • Struggling a little? Say bye bye.
  • PIP'ed because management and team lead was on holiday.
  • Some people are nice, some people have egos bigger than FAANG engineers.
  • You get paid a fortune, but expect to be walking on eggshells because of it.
  • Mentally exhausting culture and environment.
Advice to Management

Culture is too far gone from what Atlassian used to be. It's gotten to the point where now Amazon and TikTok look amazing in contrast.
