Hello, I've got offers from both Splunk and Atlassian (pretty much same TC) Base: 180k / 260k / 20k TC: 270k Overview: # Both are in front end domain space. # For Atlassian it's confluence product # For Splunk it's Security. # Both are for Senior Front End Engineer roles. Pro(Atlassian): - I felt like the product confluence has more scale / reachability - Better front end teams (they have unified FE teams) - Working on Confluence that's being used by thousands of people. - Company growing 40% year to year. (Stock growth) Pro(Splunk): - Enterprise company. - Brand new product (fresh code base) Con(Splunk): - Might be the only UI engineer on the team (with one remote engineer in SF office) - Stock growth? What looks better on my resume in long run? And why? Please comment.
Atlassian is a great company and the confluence team in Mountain View is good people. Was there for 4 years, left in 2018. The confluence team was my favorite to work with in the whole company.
Confluence sucks. If you really worked on Confluence then you are lying. We all know confluence cloud and confluence on premise are two separate apps, code forked from one to another. Lots and lots of technical debts; that software appears to have been written in the 70s.
If it's any useful, I will be working on Cloud version of the confluence.
With the info provided, Atlassian seems like the winner but need more info would be needed. If you’re trying to grow in FE, I can vouch for Atlassian. Some really solid FE engineers there.
I can provide more info. Please let me know what info you would need
So the thing that intrigues me is how new splunk team/product is. Is it customer facing or internal? Career growth wise lots of potential and you will likely be the lead. However naturally there is some risk with anything completely new. Confluence I would say is one of the weaker products of the Atlassian suite. Maybe it has changed but impact wise I just don’t know. There’s opportunity here for sure though but might not be as impactful as the work in splunk.
If you care about money then splunk, refreshers would be generous. The opportunity to lead gives faster promo too.
I feel this is true. It kinda boils down to this I guess. TC Vs Learning.
“refreshers” are not rhat great anymore. And they kill new projects or fresh codebase regularly. I wont bank in that
Atlassian is not everified apparently so won't take opt students
It doesn't matter for me. And for the context of this argument I don't see how that matters?
Thought you might be on opt, just wanted to help in that case
Fresh code base wins it for me, build the infrastructure and become an expert, and the promos will start rolling in
Being the most senior engineer at Splunk you probably will have no one to learn from.
This is what I was kinda worried about as well. But their project is a scratch project. So new stuff to learn no?
Can I please get a referral?
what level in atlassian?
Senior
is it p5?
