Pros
* Total salary compensation is competitive * Great benefits, such as work from home and paid parental leave * Good indication of diversity, at least on the teams around me. There are good balance of gender and cultural backgrounds.
Cons
Ironically, during COVID in 2020 - 2021 was a much better time to work at Atlassian. Back then, there were more support on our wellbeing, for example providing COVID special leave and additional recharge days. People that I worked with were welcoming and truly living the Atlassian values. Overtime, the culture turned backwards, no more recharge days and they introduced more and more performance metrics to measure us against each other. People are more anxious and in a race to increase their PR counts. There is also a strong focus on proving your individual contributions, hence we need to constantly collect evidences on our work and impact. All of this combine leads to a never ending burn out. If you already in a job that you enjoy and considering Atlassian, I would advise to really rethink if the salary and advertised benefits are really worth your mental health. Also the benefit policies are constantly changing, so they might not be as great in the coming future.
