Pros

- Work perks such as food, drinks, generous allowances for equipment - Open company with no BS - everything is disclosed and there are no loaded management emails/decisions that do not eventuate - Great team, very easy to work with people in other teams and divisions - Smart people and awesome managers that bring out the best in people

Cons

Atlassian offers its staff miles more than any other company out there, although the vast majority of staff value what Atlassian provides, there are some that expect more. Said staff should really work for other companies (e.g. investment banks) to appreciate what Atlassian has to offer.

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.
