Really depends on the company. I'd recommend going for one that's well established (not in growth mode) and asking questions about their close process (how many days is it? How many hours is it?) You'll have to be careful to be showing that you're coming at it from a wanting to know what it's like working there and not a "doesn't wanna work hard" perspective. That can make the difference between getting the job or not... maybe say something like "what can I expect for the first quarter end I work?"

I have offers from both United Health Group and Atlassian for a Senior Financial Analyst position. Similar Comp (Atlassian slightly higher due to stock options). Coming from another healthcare company as a SFA, does anyone have experience at either company? In the long term, does Atlassian look better on a resume/work experience due to the Tech/Software space? Seems like their culture is great, but a much higher work load due to the nature of the company. Thanks! Happy to answer DM's too
