Pros

Atlassian is a great and fun company to work at! There's a definite emphasis on work-life balance, inclusiveness and innovation is actively encouraged. There's also a strong emphasis on openness in everything done at the company.

Cons

No a con for everyone, but you can be a part of a distributed team (between Sydney, Bay Area, Austin, New York, Bangalore) depending on which team you're on. There are also growing pains for the bay area offices (only a few hundred people here even though worldwide it's ~3000 employees).

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.
