Pros

I dont remember anything good about this company. I think some people are still nice even most of them left the company

Cons

Countless. Low pay.. Long Long Long hours..Especially Senior Developers have so much ego..You can't even talk with them..When you are talking with them you feel like they are treating you like a junkie.. Very Old Code base..and almost no documentation for this code base..Everything you see in their job advertisements are lie..and Gossip. ..Developers/Managers are talking behind each others.. .if you make a mistake they are ready to stub you in the back.. Stealing codes from github projects is daily routine.. Even I know a few developers they are outsourcing their tasks to India,Vietname....so they do nothing all day.. NO REAL ARCHITECTURE,NO Genuine Developers ,BUT TONS OF BUGGY BUGGY CODES... I saved the best for last...some developers give interactive/skype interview questions / coding exercises a few days before interview...

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.
