Pros

Remote, had decent WLB at one point, amazing pay relative to most of the industry. Mostly nice culture.

Cons

WLB has gotten worse. Metrics like PR count and lines of code are now being used as data points to evaluate work performance. Management uses this data to help make decisions on who to bump down to scores of 1s and 2s during performance review season, when we're graded on a 1-5 scale. Stack ranking is used, and whenever too many managers give too many high numbers, they go through the process of 'calibration' where they meet up and figure out who to bump up, down, etc.

Pros

I really enjoyed my peers, the pay and benefits, and WLB at Atlassian

Cons

It felt surprisingly bureaucratic and slow. I often felt like there wasn’t enough work for me to do, and the projects I was on were stalled by leadership disagreement. There’s definitely a culture shift happening at the company and it felt like the fate of Atlassian was up in the air. Do they want to be a positive tech company that allows for work life balance and treats each other well, or do they want to become a hard driving big tech company?
