Pros

Brilliant people in the teams you work with Remote work works close to perfect Perks

Cons

WLB almost not exist. Me and some other colleagues I know had to take a long sick leave to recover due to super stressed times (13-16 hours working hours a day!) Promotion program is VERY stressful. You act as the higher level for almost a year, with the same pay as you current role. Leadership is awful, outrages, lost you name it. Taking the company down since they embraced Meta culture rather than organically continue the original Atlassian culture. Toxic org culture. Engineers are awesome, but for the APEX assessments, individualism is the game.

Pros

Stock based compensation, fully remote, ai friendly, great benefits, and tech company

Cons

Cut throat, competitive, stressful, timezones not overlapping leading to longer hours, strict deadlines, constant "continuous improvement", stock is down (leading to less TC), offsites cancelled, layoffs, etc.
