Atlassian Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Great work/life balance. Nobody demands anything in terms of performance

Cons

Management is interested in a cheap workforce, doesn't want to invest in people. Most of the menagement roles ocupied by poor ex-engineers.

Pros

Salary Stock Work life balance Colleagues

Cons

I'll add some when I find them

Pros

Good work-life balance. Good work-learning culture. Great people. Room for career growth. Good pay. Good benefits. Relaxed schedule, come in at 11? 7? Remote? Usually quite open with everything. Clear direction at high levels.

Cons

HR is quite closed with their decisions and decision making. Company doesn't always have clear direction on the micro level.

Pros

Lots of nice challenges and opportunities, some great people to work with, and lots of freedom in how you work. The benefits are pretty good.

Cons

You have to work hard to achieve work/life balance otherwise burn out is imminent. Change is a constant. The working environment, as in the physical building, leaves a lot to be desired.

Pros

Nice people. Work life balance. Overvalued stock price. Seemingly caring CEOs. Great employee marketing with their values.

Cons

Rampant politics. Management is very inexperienced. Poor planning. Constant re-organization. Zero change management. No long-term vision. Engineering upper management only sees people as numbers. Promote their own pet projects and put people number on them. Little consideration of the impact to existing tasks or people. Middle managers have no say. It’s all about who you know, how loud you shout (blog) and how you play the game to succeed. Sydney culture is geared towards white and male despite many awareness blog posts. Not inclusive. Not multiculturally friendly. No BS value translates to employee hostile behavior. This company is where talented ambitious people go to waste. No innovation. Sensible people have left already.

Pros

- Lovely colleagues. Smart, too! - Secondments to other teams and locales are available. - Remote work is available for non-managers. - Company is heavily involved in charitable, prosocial and environmental causes. As an employee, you can also get $1,000/year donation matching and spend 40 hours/year volunteering for a charity. - Work-life balance is pretty darn good; I can work later, earlier, or from home if I need to attend an appointment. - Employees with health issues (mental or physical) can access accommodations to help them. Examples: - A person who had a sleep disorder was able to work from 12-8pm every day, as they found it very hard to wake up much earlier than that. - A depressed person was able to work part-time while attending outpatient therapy. - Related, discussions about mental health issues are normalized, with people writing internal blog posts about their experiences and receiving a lot of support. - Lots of interest groups are available for employees interested in art, sports, crafts, books, languages, LGBT issues, programming techniques, social equality, etc. - Internal systems for storing documents are easily useable and searchable. Anyone can make a blog post that's viewable by everyone.

Cons

- Open-plan offices make it harder to focus on technical work. Bring earplugs or over-ear headphones.

Pros

- Great work life balance - Food stations and free drinks - Team work - Great company culture - Flexible - Clear company direction - Awesome products

Cons

People get the freedom to explore so teams often do things slightly differently, which can cause confusion. But this depends on which department you are working it.
