Edited 11/30 for clarity I interviewed for Role A at both companies, but Okta filled it and offered me Role B which overlaps a bit. Ultimately I want to get into Role A and get away from Role B ideally. I’m OK with jumping ship to another company after 2-3 years. Okta: - Met most of Role A team, no offer despite great feedback (filled) - Only met the manager on Role B team, seemed OK - I like Okta products - Might be able to transfer to Role A someday ? Atlassian: - It’s Role A, which is what I want - I have no info on team dynamics, team composition, direction, etc. - Feel neutral about Atlassian products Both companies have comparable salaries for Role A and B, similar perks, and are remote-first. Any advice on which to pick? TC: 160k YOE: 1 #okta #atlassian
It’s a shitshow here. If you found a good team at Okta, go there. Seriously not worth the risk coming here and burning out doing pointless work.
Bro it’s a shit show here too have u not seen the news
Then which is the shitshowiest ? Or what should I consider to determine that
I will go for Atlassian
I wish I was thinking this much when was at 1 yoe. We were different I guess.
I moved from atlassian to okta and depending on the org you'll be joining could be great or hell. Reach out to people in the org you're applying WIC/CIC. Things are changing at okta due to the security incident. Atlassian lost its culture and what made it a great company. Lots of people are abandoning ship. Go for the role and the team you want now, unless TC is better than the other.
Very helpful, thanks for the input!
OP what did you end up choosing?
Went for Okta because Atlassian wanted me to relocate to the US (thought I could work from my country since they are remote-first anyway but they said no)
Mind sharing which country you are from? Curious as many of my friends wanna move from Aus to US but cant within Atlassian.
I’m a current employee at Atlassian and say avoid it in its current state. The culture is really iffy now.
Hi @vwxQ17 I need help with Atlassian referral, can you help ?
I thought you already were in the interview process at Atlassian? My referrals have t gone anywhere since they changed the system fro lever to email. Maybe try someone else who is closer to that team. I would t put too much stock in the referrals at Atlassian though, it’s just an email to an app you can fill out

Closed now - thank you all
Lots of fry babies at Atlassian atm, but overall it’s a good place with solid pay and refreshers. FYI health insurance is no longer covered 100% by company starting in 2025
Thanks for the input, what’s a fry baby ?
Cry baby. F is adjacent to C on the keyboard.
