Happiness at work at Atlassian - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog This is how Australian software company Atlassian present their values on their web sites about page: Open company, no bullshit Atlassian embraces transparency wherever at all practical, and sometimes where impractical. All information, both internal and external, is public by default. We are not afraid of being honest with ourselves, our staff and our customers. Build with heart and balance Everyday we try to build products that are useful and that people lust after. Building with heart means really caring about what were making and doing ? its a mission, not just a job. When we build with balance we take into account how initiatives and decisions will affect our colleagues, our customers and our stakeholders. Dont #@!% the customer When we make internal decisions we ask ourselves ?how will this affect our customers?? If the answer is that it would screw them, or make life more difficult, then we need to find a better way. We want the customer to respect us in the morning. Play, as a team We want all Atlassians to feel like they work with Atlassian, not for Atlassian. We think its important to have fun with your workmates while working and contributing to the Atlassian team.
