Pros
I love working at Atlassian. I primarily joined for a better Work-Life balance, and it delivers on that--though I will say it might vary based on what team you are on (though generally good). The Atlassian values are embraced by everyone. You'll find support for your new ideas, and you'll be less impeded by office politics. I hope to never leave. - Really collaborative culture - Strong adherence to values - Great support for innovation - Solid benefits - They are still newish to data science, so a lot of opportunities to contribute in a meaningful way to the business - You don't need a PhD to work on machine learning models here - Remote work is well-supported - Large company but still feels startup-y in many ways. You thus get the stability of a company that's not about to go under
Cons
- Funding decisions are often driven by initiatives; infrastructure work or long-term projects are often underfunded and understaffed - Wish they offered a stipend for remote employees to join coworking spaces - Less data maturity than some tech peers, so tooling or data quality may be work-in-progress - A lot of "data science" work is actually analytics--know what you're applying for - Still very Australia or Pacific-coast staff heavy, so east coast workers may find it annoying - Promotions are less quick than I'm used to
