Atlassian is shit

Block IzWH72 OP Apr 22

Do you work there?

Meta landofhol Apr 22

No but know people.

@block do they negotiate or are they firm with their offers

Atlassian freeyolo Apr 22

One big draw back with atlassian is some positions require cross time zone collaboration so I’d double check with your hiring manager Also we have began to do PIPs and 2x performance cycles that are impact driven so it’s getting a bit more competitive and annoying here similar to meta That said, if you’re a high performer you’re treated well. If you’re trying to coast it’s not as easy as it used to be here

Block IzWH72 OP Apr 22

Is the work life balance really bad there? Like can i put in 9-5/6 and be okay? Im not trying to coast but dont want to burn out either

Atlassian freeyolo Apr 22

With any company it’s team dependent and how smart you are and how well you manage your time and how good of a rating you want to get. If you’re efficient and draw good boundaries 40 hours a week is plenty

Atlassian JIFFY_PIP Apr 22

Our stock is very volatile too BTW

Block IzWH72 OP Apr 22

Haha not compared to block rollercoaster 🎢

Atlassian JIFFY_PIP Apr 24

If you have a medical condition yes they will make the necessary accommodations. I have not been in that position so no idea if there’s any pushback.

Block IzWH72 OP Apr 22

How's the market op? Could you give us some data regarding how many applications, interviews, how many success, how hard is it

Block IzWH72 OP Apr 22

I’ve been getting interviews from most companies. The expectation is pretty high. For coding the expectation is pretty much solve with best approach. Also noticing lots of down leveling going on.

Atlassian vurjs Apr 22

Block seems to have more upside on stock value in longterm. I would recommend keep searching and look for a bigger jump in TC. Also, it’s very enterprisey and you may not like it here coming from B2C.

Block IzWH72 OP Apr 22

Thats good advice. It’s hard finding another opportunity in current market😆

Can i get a referral for atlassian principal/group pm role?

Block FINRA97 Apr 22

L6 would’ve been more appropriate for your yoe, you got downleveled. Had you got L6 you’d be looking at 475k + 50k bonus

Block IzWH72 OP Apr 22

I am at block dont see path to L6 as of now.

Block DiAB62 Apr 22

May I ask what’s blocking your path to L6 at Block?

Block blockSWE Apr 23

I got a recruiter screening my reject and I’m at block too. Can someone help pls

I'd stay with Block. I've worked for both companies, albeit I'm a few years removed from both. Atlassian is stacked with junior/middle management, focusing more on optics than employee/customer satisfaction.
