I was called for an interview at Atlassian, Begaluru for Senior product manager - Marketplace team. Wanted to know if this shift would be good in terms of culture, pay, and would senior PMs have their own mini teams if design, and dev to manage ? YOE: 3.5 Years had my own startup, acquired even before we scaled or registered. 7 years across three companies with 4 in Zoho. TC expected: INR 65 L PA #productmanager #job
Seems like quite high for a PM, is that the current market rate for PMs in India?
Not sure of the market stand. But I took into consideration the cost of living index of Bengaluru for my myself and the family.
You have 3.5 YOE and u said you worked for 7 years across 3 companies. Which information is correct? Are you counting internship experience as well. PM job here is challenging. You will be working across different teams and writing lots of useless confluence documents
It’s 3.5Y + 7Y of total experience. I managed my own startup for 3.5Y, later moved to work for different startup’s as product manager. Totalling ~10 YOE.
Not sure what the culture is at Zoho but if a culture that respects employees is what you're looking for, I'd say Atlassian culture is one of the best in India. Employees here are respected and treated very well. As a SPM, you will be part of a triad that makes decisions through consensus. The triad consists of the design manager, engineering manager and you. The PM usually drives the discussion. Everyone's opinion matters but from my experience, PMs are the first among equals in the triad. At an SPM level, you will be an IC. Usually only at Group PM level (2 levels above) can you make the switch to a manager and have PMs report to you.
Thank you so much. Great culture - That was really what I was expecting!
@Op - were you offered a job? How was your interview experience?
I think I know exactly who you are. Wish you the best and I'm glad you're looking out! :)
