This has been hard for me to share but my experience at Atlassian has been both shocking and nearly broke me.
- Managers pushing people into a "bad performance" year so they can’t leave the team.
- Ridiculing new parents wanting to take parental leave.
- Not open to any sort of feedback. Retaliating.
- Wide spread fear of speaking up.
- Actively position people on grunt work based on visa status, individuals who can’t easily leave.
- Performance improvement feedback unclear and confusing, resulting in unnecessary work and burnout.
- Surprise management and shock firings on a regular basis with no clear learnings.
Consistently ignore this feedback when raised with managers privately. It was not clear to me how I could have raised these issues with the HR department privately.
