Great perks, good culture, fun to work for

Senior business analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

- Best of the best in terms of tech to use as a BA - the data tools, facility to spin up apps to solve complex problems if you choose. - Really flexible in how you go about your role - really you can make it what you want - Great perks, really well paid - Lovely people - Flexible with illness, personal leave, "special leave" if you experience challenges with burnout, home schooling, or other COVID related challenges. Plus extensive parental leave for Dads as well.

Cons

- Theres a certain amount of type A personalities that product companies like this attracts - so if you aren't someone who gels with those types of people you may not enjoy it depending on the role you're starting in. - It's will benefit new starters to take a more relaxed approach to change in a company scaling this quickly - if you're frustrated by start-up challenges with enterprise impact; you might have a bad time.

Amazing work culture

Pros

People at Atlassian CARE. They care for customers, co-workers, the partners they work with, and they care for the environment. Employees are encouraged to take time off to do volunteer activity to make some contribution to the world. I haven't seen an org. with this level of empathy. And, people live the values consistently. Aspects of mental health, burnout, providing avenues for employee growth are constantly discussed and the Org. takes measures to address these. Special mention to the Workplace experience team who constantly think about how to improve the employee experience at Atlassian.

Cons

Decision making isn't as fast as it should be. Being in the agile space, the way of working sometimes is not agile enough.
