It's a rat race and competition is fierce, not in a good way. Atlassian has been my unhappiest job since I started my career in 2011. In my previous companies (decent sized ones), I have won best employee of the month in the APAC region, but Atlassian has destroyed my self-esteem!
I've never seen an Atlassian that some claimed to be "one of the best places to work".
