Pros
- The teams build products in the right way (But of course as with any software development it doesn't always go to *plan*) - Design is starting to be at the heart of product development, which is great. - Great office space right in the heart of Sydney - Sit / stand desks and herman Miller Chairs (Makes a big difference) - Loads of couches and private areas to move around the office to sit and work - Great social events and team building - Values that are actually lived and breathed in day to day work rather than just stuck up on a wall - 5 days paid volunteer leave per year. Awesome to be able to help local charities. Interview process - I was asked to facilitate a workshop and go through a design exercise. This was great to actually go through a practical exercise. - I had 5 face to face interviews in total. Why so many? I work in a senior cross-product role so was asked to meet a bunch of the teams I would be working with. - The other interviews were standard Q&A sessions, along with a portfolio review.
Cons
- As above, sometimes things don't go exactly to plan - Atlassian is a great place to work but we still have similar problems that face many software development teams. - Design is becoming more important in the product development process, but we still have some work to do here.
