Business Outlook
Pros
- remote, decent comp & benefits
Cons
- APEX. everything revolves around the bi-annual stack ranking performance reviews. If you want to 'succeed' at Atlassian you're gonna spend all of your time chasing ridiculous personal metrics for the performance review (e.g. PR count) instead of trying to solve real problems - The culture has become actively hostile as a result of APEX. every man for himself - Rampant micromanagement, getting pulled into 1:1s with manager to explain exactly why some task took a day or 2 longer than estimated - Layoffs every few months
