Atlassian reviews

Cosign many of the points made by the January 2 reviewer: Atlassian is great at bringing in motivated, quality talent and letting those folks languish. There is limited opportunity for upward mobility, and where it is present, your options are to work for a brand-new manager promoted out of seniority (hit or miss), or a transplant from a traditional enterprise software company whose cultural-fit section of the interview must have gotten cut short (sure miss). The HR team (I refuse to call them Talent, since they clearly do not see employees as such) is among the least reliable/responsive I've ever seen. To call them tone-deaf would be an understatement. Valid complaints around gender discrimination and hostile work environment are brushed off; the constant refrain of "look at the perks we offer" to questions around pay scale was once funny and is now just insulting. What perks?

Depending on a team you will join you can face a crappy and abandoned technology that no one else uses. If you wish to keep up with cool technologies it might not be a good place for you. You will face a wall when it comes to making those products technically better - sacred APIs that cannot be changed, scary plugin system or hacked maven for builds. I would advise to choose teams that work on recently created products. Avoid more mature ones. Company grows a lot and plans to do so in the upcoming years, so despite their great values atmosphere starts to feel like in any other "corporation" - multi level managerial structure, bad people management.
