Pros
I joined Atlassian over a year ago, intrigued by the story around how it lived and breathed its values. This has proven 100% true. I've never quite seen a company so dedicated to its values. Even more, it's a company that recognizes people who achieve outcomes and get things done. It’s about showing, not telling. + Dynamic, self-reflective organization. Constantly evaluating what’s working, what’s not, and trying to keep getting better. + At a fascinating point in its growth, going big and scaling massively, with tons of room to get in early and help define the future of a thriving, successful multi-product business. + Not a one-trick pony. Has a broad, healthy product portfolio.
Cons
- Still learning how to go global effectively; a lot of the work and relationships are still in Australia, which means modest travel and remote relationship building skills is needed if you’re in the other locations. - Struggling to grow and develop both individual contributors and managers; need for more training. - Some tension between marketing and product development. +/-: Values people who can constantly embrace change, adapt to it, and thrive in it.
