Atlassian reviews

Toxic culture Pay below market rate and boast about it Too many levels of management now Expected to be on call always Agree with the majority or be cast out If you spend too much time actually doing work, or focusing on fixing customer issues, than you will be told off for not being a team player, and doing too many commits. Be careful what mention in 1:1's as it will all be used against you Be careful what write on Stride, as it will also be misinterpreted and used against you You are required to spend extra hours blogging about everything you did, as otherwise you will be deemed as not performing at all Every manager has their favourites and unless you are a favourite, you will have 0 chance of promotion or even having your thoughts listened to. It is not a collaborative environment anymore, that disappeared years ago. The advertised values are a joke. Don't "hurt" the customer? Why do team leads punish people for working on long running issues in JIRA? Be the change you seek? If you do something that 1 person on a team of 50 is vocal against, then you get punished verbally and at review time. Just 2 examples I have seen .... not good enough. Either live the values the way they were intended when this was a tiny startup, or scrap them and go for the bigger company style awful values that are actually real inside the building but not flashy to advertise that we can swear :( All in all, I can not recommend this company anymore to any of my friends.

When Atlassian goes bad, it goes really bad. There's a lot of project churn (projects appearing and then disappearing) Managers at Atlassian aren't great. Every manager I've had has been a former developer who moved into a team lead role. Nominally speaking, you'd think this sounds great. However getting the most out of people isn't something that a career in writing software prepares you for from what I can see. When they leave you alone, they're mostly benign, although you'll have to find your own career path. If you have sustained high work output, and you know when to keep your mouth shut, you'll be in this category most of the time. If you happen to get their attention for the wrong reasons however, you're in for a world of pain. Their abilities at "performance improvement" are mostly limited to threatening to fire you. FYI take the values with a grain of salt, they used to mean a lot to a lot of people (management and staff) but their meaning has become diluted as people have been hired who don't share the same values.
