Pros

- Most of the people, are some of the best people I have ever had the pleasure to work with - Perks, mostly in stocks and snacks, not in green backs - Nice office, if you like the open office scene (very open office)

Cons

- Pay is lacking because of the stocks and the snacks and the random guy carving ice sculptures outside one morning - People can be too nice and value is placed in things that do not matter - The values they tout, just to not live by them and then throw them in your face - Rarely do things that make sense and organizational structure is lacking - Experiences vary greatly across teams, some work very little, others do all the work - Always ask you to do more, but can't offer anything more than a quarter (.25) raise for the most part

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.
