What do you guys think about Atlassian “balanced slate approach”? Gonna wait on your promotion or hire until there are enough underrepresented candidates... meaning you could potentially lose a year or more. Sounds like a reverse racism to me
Isn't PayPal culture extremely toxic? I reckoned you would have gotten used to toxic culture given that you're from PYPL
How is it toxic? It’s pretty chill here
Promoting underrepresented minorities is something you might not like, but I wouldn't describe it as toxic. Toxic culture is team killing stuff. Not sure this fits
I like everyone being promoted. But wouldn’t like to miss on my opportunity because I’m not a member of some class
I work here and haven't heard of such a thing. For dev hiring at P4 and P5 we can't get enough qualified candidates, it would be stupid to reject people based on demographic factors. Nor is our bar terribly high, we only have two technical onsite rounds (down from three) and things usually run LC medium. Our promotion process is pretty annoying but I don't see any sign P3->P4 or P4->P5 that things are gated on anything other than annoying process and being able to do the job. P6+ promotions I have much less sense of. Manager stuff, who knows? The place where I could see it is P3/New Grad hiring.
Could you please explain? I got recently rejected by Atlassian after the phone screening. They asked me to solve 3 jira tickets in a java code. I did that with little hiccups as I haven't done Java coding for sometime. Eventually got a rejection letter. Atlassian has a very high hiring bar.
Well, that hiring bar is now even higher given that they want to prioritize underrepresented candidates
What is underrepresented candidates?
