The company claims good values and I would say mostly lives up to them, especially transparency. Though overall it is slowly becoming more corporate as it grows and especially leans in to AI hype.

The people and compensation and benefits are great, you get a lot of resources (can just spin up a fully hosted app via a terminal command if you want).

I am also lucky to be part of a small, internal-facing, chill, and yet important team so my experience on day-to-day work would definitely differ from a random Jira dev though.

I’ve not yet met anybody who has disliked working at the company — everybody dislikes the ‘APEX’ system used for measuring performance though lmao.

As someone who is using the Atlassian stack daily, Bitbucket (self hosted) is by far the best product from the stack. Jira is okay if you actually plan on using its features extensively. Confluence is... Well, it tries. I'd even prefer plain Mediawiki over it.

Didn’t the name come from one of the founders being a huge Ayn Rand stan? That sounds like a red flag.
