Terrible Middle Management

Anonymous employee

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.

Talented people, well-defined culture, tough growing pains

Pros

Really, really smart people who are talented at what they do, and get a lot done. They place constant attention on what their culture is and what it means. This has brought certain perks like paid leave set aside for volunteering, embraced transparency about company goals and policies, and camaraderie with teammates. At Atlassian, you are truly empowered to work on the stuff you want to, even if it's outside your prescribed domain of expertise, and collaboration across cross-functional roles is something you can count on. The kind of things teams are building and doing are truly interesting, and there's room to contribute. I've worked with some of the most talented people in my career here, across many different departments and products.

Cons

Many people are working insane hours under the radar, including many managers. Many aren't. Internally, it seems well-known that most people are underpaid well below market value, but even with options, it's hard to justify. Sometimes the attention to culture feels like navel gazing; and some of the cultural values aren't authentically lived (as any company). Product strategy is aging in an interesting market, but the company hasn't yet learned how to guide decisions with meaningful market input. Diversity is sorely lacking, and they aren't yet addressing it and many meetings are filled with mostly young white men.

Different than it was and not for the better.

Pros

Great for a while. Exhibited values for a while. Stock was good for a while. Acted like they cared for a long while. TEAM Anywhere will always be good.

Cons

Brought in a ton of outside leadership from companies that did not reflect Atlassian values and completely tanked the culture that Atlassian had always preached. This was within the last few years. Co-founder and Co-CEO left and the remaining Co-founder and Co-CEO went to town. A ton of the C-suite left and was replaced by people from companies who do not seem to care about culture. Values disregarded. Horrible professional behavior was rewarded while good people were laid off or left because they saw what was going on.
