      Terrible Middle Management

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Growing company -Friendly and smart people -Unique GTM strategy (no sales) -Lots of good benefits

      Cons

      -Everyone there is 25 and has a warped reality and are very clicky. They were between 7 and 10 years old in '97 when the dot.com boom started and busted in 2000. They have no idea how good it is now and how lucky they are. It won't last forever. -No sense of time to market. Engineering always misses deadlines. -'Sales' and 'Enterprise' are dirty words. Public company thinks they are still a start-up and can grow 40%YoY without sales and enterprise deals. Good luck! -Lots of redundant roles, everyone is trying to build their mini kingdom -Middle management needs serious training on people management skills and their responsibilities -People (mainly middle management) openly say bad things about their own employees and other individual contributors. Open Company, No BS. How about have respect and not talk behind people's back. -PowerPoint is not used. They use Apple Keynote.

      Cons

      -Life at a recently public and fast-growing company can be hectic. Period.

      Great for devs but be wary if you are applying for a non-technical role

      Pros

      Challenging work, Most of the people there are at the top of their game. Atlassian looks after their employees with an unprecedented level of perks and freebies. No wonder they have won the #1 place to work three years running.

      Cons

      Still very much a siloed company made up of multiple teams competing for the founders' attention. Culture is not consistent across the company - one silo in particular is overly political and can be very toxic if you question what the silo leads are doing. Question or challenge the flip-flopping management within this silo and you will be pegged as having an "attitude" problem. Atlassian favours loud and/or opinionated alpha personalities and rewards/promotes as such. If you want to succeed at Atlassian, you must become known to the "right" people. Conclusion: Atlassian is a great place to work if you fit the mould.
