Atlassian reviews

The great south pacific cargo cult: Atlassian. A corporation trying its hardest to be an ersatz Google, both culturally and technically. Don't be fooled. The wacky t-shirts, hackathons, goofy hats, etc are a thin veneer over the rapidly declining cultural edifice. Prepare yourself for constant absurd politics, pointless territorial battles, and immature/ineffective management. The stateside brands (BitBucket and HipChat) represent small vanity projects on the fringes of the larger JIRA and Confluence empire. If you work on them you will be irrelevant. Additionally these two brands are 'also-rans' compared to the more prolific products in their respective sectors (GitHub and Slack) so you unfortunately don't even get any prestige or credibility.

1) Company is experiencing growing pains and middle management is frequently changing 2) Strategy on several products is not quite clear and roadmap if there is one is in a state of flux 3) Open offices while great, are very noisy and distracting. Try working with a colleague on the phone speaking loudly. 4) No defined career paths. Great for a few years and then you don't know where you will be going 5) A lot of talk and less progress. People simply seem to love to discuss for the sake of discussing.
