Pros

* The company is sharing a lot of information and reasons why decisions were made or will be made * Amazing people and a lot to learn from all the different cultures in the offices * Salary is quite good compared to other companies * Flexible working hours (if applicable to the position) * ShipIt (just google it! ;) ) * Atlassian Foundation (I was able to join the Cambodia Trek 2016 and it was amazing!) * Supportive colleagues - no matter who you ask, you will always get help * All the perks you can read about on the Atlassian website ;)

Cons

* Atlassian Values are praised very high - not all within the company live these * Mid-Management is not experienced in some cases and with that there is friction and miscommunication * The biggest weakness within Atlassian is on the Mid-Management/Team lead level - having the courage to talk to people even though it might be a difficult conversation about improvements or different opinions * The amount of meetings increased a lot since I joined in 2015 * Career paths for non-technical people are there only in theory

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.
