Trying to hold on to a once amazing culture

Senior insights analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- many offices + remote-first work (best of both worlds?) - good pay and benefits, PTO easy to take - Australian culture, more progressive if you're looking for it - Investing heavily in creating a solid remote-first culture

Cons

- Recent performance management system to stack rank - Culture took a dive with new engineering leadership - Teams aren't co-located, so could be tough to onboard and learn if you want tight mentorship and teamwork

Solid strong company, but not team

Principal data engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great and professional people. I met many really smart individuals there, and it was an honor to work alongside them. Very flexible workplace approach - fully remote or hybrid if you want. Great offices. Very strong compensation package Great technical challenges and scale.

Cons

Bad work/life balance: a lot of priorities and lack of long-term planning (last 3 months we worked with data migration in fire, because it wasn't added to the initial migration process from on-prem) Absolutely not a team: - If the candidate complains to the interviewer, it becomes hell. I supervised an interview. And candidate absolutely with no reason complained about it. So it looked more like a panic in the company, and I had to prove that the interviewer was good. It's a luck that I supervised it. Otherwise cannot imagine a sanction for the interviewer. One. ONE candidate complain (without a real reason) -> butt pain. - I heard about a case when people lost their jobs for doing some mistakes with customers. Mistakes as experience for growth? Not about Atlassian - I heard about silent layoffs with bad performance reasons. Right before bi-annual reviews (not after).
