In the crazy world of tech, this is one of the better companies out there
Pros
My views are based on my experience at different tech startups to SMBs (and now Atlassian) in the Bay Area. + Culture here is generally a really positive one. The values are not just lip-service; they are lived. + Except for our quarterly earnings calls, I never see presentations about the bottom line. They are all about how can we do better by our customers and stakeholders. It's probably a different story in channel and field ops meetings, but as someone in marketing I find this unusual and refreshing. + I genuinely like pretty much everyone I come into contact with here. Great people. + Good work life balance. + Kick-ass office with nice amenities, workout room, rooms for parents, reflection room, massage chairs, bar, etc.
Cons
- We're not afraid to pivot, which inevitably means whiplash. It's not as extreme as a startup, but it still happens. Lots of org changes. - I'm told our base pay is not as competitive as other companies in the valley. Between the rest of our benefits and the great work-life balance, it's enough to keep me comfortable and happy. - I haven't seen any blatant examples of ageism, but I have noticed that everyone on my team and most people on adjacent teams are within 10 years of each other. FWIW.
