Business Outlook

Pros

- Free food, drinks, social events. - Free T-shirts

Cons

To be successful at Atlassian, you need to, 1. Talk 2. Keep Talking 3. And not stop talking - The technology used is old and most folks have no idea how the product works. Afraid to rewrite them. - You need to talk a lot to be recognised and successful. Majority of the blogs are written for silly reasons and are of no value causing the more important ones to be ignored. - The work environment has a lot of distractions... Like blogs, useless chats.. - Managers are like their products.. Worst performance, Have no idea why they want something done... They have no clue on how to manage people... - The only reason their products(major ones) are a success is because there is no similar competing product in the industry..

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great transparent culture. - Good team leaders and managers - Great perks for developers (e.g ShipIt days).

Cons

- Compensation is 'ok', but nothing extremely competitive (the equity component is good though). - Uninspiring corporate HR - Sometimes people or teams are asked to drop current work and start working on things with 'higher priority'.
