Career progression

At Atlassian, they put significant importance on the career growth of their employees. Check out this article about how some of their new grads turned into engineering managers while staying in the company. Here are just some snippets from the interview: 

"I did an internship here while I was at university, and it was refreshingly different from other experiences I’d had. I wasn’t just working on side projects—senior people were answering my questions, pairing programming with me, and making sure I had whatever I needed to be successful. They were so invested in helping me out, even though they knew I was only going to be here for six months. The whole experience just cemented my decision to apply." - Edith, Manager at Atlassian
