Pros

The company is constantly growing at a rapid pace, both in terms of head count and customer revenue. Most people within the company are smart and bring their own specialised knowledge to create a company with great capability. The culture is great, everyone is socially laid back yet focused on performing their work to their best. Strong customer base and innovative business model that works well will fuel growth for a long time to come.

Cons

Whilst I am an itern (so this doesn't affect me), it is common perception that salaries are reduced from market rates for the luxury of working at Atlassian (which may or may be worth it depending on circumstances). With so many intelligent people within the company, you are competing against all colleagues for promotions, rather than just a handful of people if it were another company. There is a struggle to keep the culture and quality of employees during rapid growth as Atlassian has begun to saturate its reach into the Sydney tech talent pool. Some employees have the social maturity of a 15 year old, and this mindset thrives in a company without the typical corporate culture.

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.
