Atlassian reviews

It's been almost 3 months since my last review. During that time, Atlassian brought in 2 new content designers. They also hired or promoted 3 new content design leads. All 5 are white. The content design team is now more homogenously white than when I first joined it. Even though Atlassian transitioned to remote and new labor markets opened up, leadership is still cherry picking white people. Actions speak louder than words. It's ironic that a group of content experts don't comprehend that. You can't call yourselves woke if you deliberately sleep on POC talent. If you don't live and lead according to your values, then you never adopted those values to begin with. Original: The makeup of content design leadership is 100% white. The makeup of FTE content design team members is almost 100% white. Marketing content, Playbook content, and DevOps content teams are also almost 100% white. I've been surrounded by white content experts who understand the risk and consequences of inconsistent and deceptive messaging when it comes to their products. But they lack credibility and empathy with their diversity and inclusion messaging. For a full year, they've aggressively marketed themselves as inclusive while continuing a long pattern where only white people are hired, promoted, and meaningfully included. It's a disturbing and dangerous pattern, and I'm saddened that Glassdoor is the only outlet where it's possible for leaders to pay attention and hold themselves accountable for their gatekeeping.

If you plan to work at Atlassian, avoid working in the Support Department. Compared to the rest of the company, Support is treated terribly. There is no growth opportunities or much of a career advancement. Training is a joke. Management is obsessed with metrics and efficiency that you end up playing a numbers game. The environment that the middle management has created is toxic. Get ready to deal with the politics that come along with it. If you can handle abuse on a daily, then you should be fine .
