Pros

Atlassian is truly one of the best companies I have had the opportunity to work for. Atlassian's live by the company values each and everyday, they are always top of mind for us on every endeavor. Management is incredibly transparent and ensures all employees are aware of what is going on. When I first started at Atlassian, I was thinking "what did I get myself into?" as I was surrounded by so many intelligent employees, I wasn't sure how I got hired. What I have come to learn is yes, everyone at Atlassian is ridiculously intelligent but we all have our own skills to bring to the table (this helped me gain some peace of mind that I was not hired on accident). Yes, Imposter Syndrome is a real thing here but everyone from employees to top management understand that. Our CEO spoke at a Ted Talk on imposter syndrome which helped me gain assurance that I was exactly where I needed to be.

Cons

Atlassian is fueled by go-getters who are looking to be the change in everyday activities. If you are looking for a job where you can get by doing the bare minimum, this company is not for you.

Pros

Atlassian is an inclusive, diverse, open company that hires smart people to work on interesting products and objectives. The company truly lives and breathes its 5 values and the planet-conscious, humanitarian initiatives it takes through Atlassian foundation is remarkable. Some pros would be: * Unlimited PTOs for Senior engineers (P5 and up) * Great health insurance plans * Fun culture that's inclusive and there's something for everyone (There's a slack channel for everything you might be into) * Colleagues are smart and uplifting and rarely competitive. Here, we learn and grow together. * Atlassian likes to gift its employees interesting stuff throughout the year. * You can work from literally anywhere in the world. * Atlassian is respectful of your personal life and guarantees great work-life balance.

Cons

* Salaries could be more competitive and they aren't very generous with sign-on bonuses * Stock, even though is promising, seems to dwindle and go bearish more often than I'd like. * The company is in hyper growth and I fear this means filtering for the best talent might have been relaxed which might add some not-so-great people to the mix. * Remote opportunities are great but compensating employees to work remotely (like internet bills etc.) hasn't been a priority for Atlassian although to be fair they do have a decent WFH reimbursement package when you join.
