Atlassian reviews

Toxic environment everywhere, no leadership at all, no project directions at all, no friendly coworkers, just APEX and fitting curves and finding people to blame. The culture is shockingly disgraceful, never seen it like that elsewhere.

Everything went downhill in 2023! They started with a generous layoff “due to macro economic” conditions. For some reason, instead of another round of layoffs or instead of asking folks to volunteer to leave they changed a whole bunch of stuff. All these changes happened end of year so no opportunity to adjust, everyone was blindsided. They changed how perf gets evaluated eoy and a bunch of people ended up on PIP. They said they would no longer cover 100% premium for health insurance because other companies weren’t doing it. They got rid of M1s, forced them to either transition to IC, if they weren’t promoted to M2. Some M1s left. Multiple engineers have complained about the CTO Rajeev. He posts about focusing in developer productivity and developer joy but he barely has a relationship with the eng team. Tons of people believe he was the reason for most of the changes that degraded the work environment. In an effort to PIP people asap they went from yearly perf reviews to every six months.
