Jobs Staff Testimonials

“Coming to work at Atlassian was like going from Primary to High School—where you were once the big guy, you are now surrounded by people much larger than yourself. This was at once daunting and inspiring.”
Jed Wesley-Smith, developer
“At the end of an all-hands meeting the other day, everyone applauded. We weren't applauding because the meeting was over (we don't have useless meetings here). No, we were just appreciative of the frank discussion of our future plans and goals and pumped to be a part of it all.”
Cheryl Jerozal, developer
“The culture is so refreshing compared to my previous employment in large corporations. The openness of information, the willingness to use new technology (such as using wikis instead of Word documents), daily stand-up meetings to promote communication without the drudgery of long meetings, the honesty of the product offering—they make me love coming to work each day.”
John Rotenstein, internal systems
“It's been fun from the first interview ... I still can't quite believe that this qualifies as 'work'.”
Kate Ellingburg, sr. developer
“I haven't yet heard ‘because that's how we do it.’ If I ask why something's done the way it is, I get a real answer. If I ask ‘why don't we do it this way?’ the answer is either ‘because of these other factors over here’ or ‘good idea, let's do that.’”
James Fleming, support engineer
“Being challenged and enlightening my knowledge and skills every day—LOVE it and love the people too!!!”
Ivan Benko, support engineer
“Fun and hard work in equal doses. Actually, they're often the same thing. Atlassian really 'gets' documentation, recognising its contribution to the quality of our products. Scott and Mike are right in there, making suggestions and saying 'good work, mate'. It's a good place to be.”
Sarah Maddox, technical writer
“Working at Atlassian for a couple of months taught me more about bleeding-edge JAVA technologies and good software design practice than all of my years at university put together. The collective intelligence of the product teams and the atmosphere of continual personal development at Atlassian is the best extended education you can get.”
Tim Pettersen, developer and ex- student intern
“Working for Atlassian honestly makes me wonder why other companies can't get it right . . . this is how work should be.”
Michael Seager, sales team member
“Work for people who understand what you do”.
Tom Davies, developer
“I've worked for a world class technology research firm and the world's most 'influential' banking system, and this is the best place I've worked!! Why? Because what I do at Atlassian makes a difference.”
Jim Conaty, customer advocate
“For the first time in eight years, I'm excited about coming to work.”
Matthew Jensen, developer
“The people and the relaxed work environment is what really attracted me to choose Atlassian as my first graduate job. It's great working with so many talented developers, who aren't just focused on getting the job done and are passionate about their work. I've never regretted coming here!”.
Agnes Ro, graduate developer
