Pros

Unparalleled culture. Envious autonomy and trust in employees. Excellent staff development opportunities and support. First class "purpose" for the business. Very strong and well communicated company vision and goals. Great perks.

Cons

There's a cacophony of strong, well considered opinions (technical and strategic). This can make it tricky to build momentum for a team. The pace of change in the market can lead to incredibly volatile short to mid-term work, even though the long term vision is strong. It will be almost permanently in transition from a nimble small-scale company (this is in it's DNA) to a large-scale software company.

Pros

Amazing people, I loved the core values, competitive salary, great benefits

Cons

I want to start by saying I am not bitter or angry. Working for Atlassian was a whirlwind. I was there for 11 months before being laid off via email. In my time there, I went through 2 re-orgs and 3 managers. It just always felt like being on a hamster wheel… in a hurricane. Today I received an email 7 weeks after I was laid off that started with, “ Congrats on your first year at Atlassian—we know that's a huge accomplishment and are beyond thrilled to be celebrating with you!” It was a bummer to receive that, to say the least, but it included a link to leave this Glassdoor review to “ help provide invaluable insight to future candidates and help us to improve your experience as an employee continually.” so here I am. My advice is to do proper change management of your automated emails when you layoff 5% of your workforce so that emails like this aren’t sent to hard working former employees that you eliminated congratulating them on a milestone they never reached. I know this wasn’t intentional, but it hurt.
