Pros

Most if not all Atlassian employees truly live the company values. Everyone works hard to make this a great place to work, with lots of places to find "your people" and for individuals to add to the company culture. Product and marketing teams genuinely seek to be the change you seek while still balancing periodic waves of feedback and navigating several sources of feedback from customer-facing teams.

Cons

While Atlassian is truly a wonderful place to work, I've seen people become too comfortable and stop pushing themselves to do "the best work of their lives". Experiences with recruiters have been hit or miss internally and externally with seemingly little incentive to progressing employees with internal mobility outside of stats by functional group. Career success and growth seems to be mostly based on the initiative and drive of the individual and their connections rather than something that is front of mind for some managers.

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.
