Pros
- Good culture, engineering folks are nice people to work and hang out with - A lot of activities are organized in the office for people with different interests: masterclasses, challenges, fitness events - A lot of areas to learn and to improve your skills at - It's a good starting point in your career
Cons
- Your work environment depends on the team you're going to join, so choose wisely - Growth paths for senior engineers are absolutely unclear - Direct and mid-management is horrible. The last 9 months in the company was a nightmare. We've been dictated what to do and how, our engineering concerns and proposed improvements to make customer experience better were just ignored. We'd been doing simple improvements in a product with estimates bloated by management while being constantly stressed. We were just closing tickets. It was my first (and last) time in my career when my performance was measured by the number of pages I created in Confluence, number of tickets I closed and number of comments I left in peer reviews (I'm not joking). In 3 months 30% of the team just left. - Values are full of hypocrisy and double standards - Atlassian is a big corp despite the fact that they advertise themselves as a company with a "startup" culture. That's simply not true.
