- Replying to @scottfarkasWe're setting our sights on growing Atlassian to 25K employees by FY26. Any Tesla employees interested? atlassian.com/company/careers (5/5)
- Replying to @samaThat you should prioritize your spouse ahead of your kids.
- Replying to @scottfarkasIn the past year alone, 42% of our new hires globally live 2 or more hours from an office. There is great talent all over the world - not just within a 1hr radius of our offices. (4/5)
00:00 - Replying to @scottfarkasAtlassian employees choose everyday where and how they want to work - we call it Team Anywhere. This has been key for our continued growth. (2/5)
- Atlassian used to share big company changes in "town halls" then follow with written info. Recently swapped - share company updates in Confluence 2-5 days ahead of the town hall. Staff asked much more informed Qs this way around. We will do it this way going forward.
- Replying to @scottfarkasWhy? This is the future of how we will work. Highly distributed, highly flexible. Yes, right now it's not perfect, but we have to experiment to get it right. (3/5)
- I'm stepping down as co-CEO of Atlassian after an incredible 23 years. I'm so grateful to everyone along this journey.
- A huge step forward for Australia's tech industry. We just sent a very loud signal to the rest of the world that we’re open for business and in the race for the biggest industry on the planet. Thanks @GladysB.The NSW Government is partnering with @Atlassian to create a major new tech and innovation precinct, stretching from Central Station to Eveleigh. This will cement Sydney as the tech capital of Australia and will look to create 10,000 new jobs. #jobs #NSW @scottfarkas
- On the heels of cuts to skilled migration, unworkable privacy laws and cuts to govt funded R&D (totalling $4B cut so far), I didn't think it could get worse for tech jobs in Australia. But it has.
- Very happy to see Atlassian recognised as #2 place to work:
