Outstanding work environment and culture

Pros

Such a great place to work, I'm very, very happy at Atlassian. Perks and benefits are great, our offices are gorgeous, and it's....fun! We definitely put in lots of hard work, and not every day is total utopia, but I love it here.

Cons

There are certainly growing pains because we're growing so fast. There is misalignment at times with mid/upper managemetn, but I think that is a known issues that can hopefully be addressed in the near future. Overall, not many cons at all.

Pros

- Lots of smart people - Extreme level of autonomy - Strong values, that are apparent when making decisions - Generous perks and remuneration - Easygoing, blame-free culture; more interest in fixing & getting it done

Cons

- Sometimes smart people can decide that their clever solution is the best one, resulting in lots of clever, unique solutions (lack of unification) - High autonomy can sometimes result in employees lacking short-term direction, even if the long-term goal is clear - Sometimes the "get it done" culture can suppress a good opportunity to slow down, relax, and reflect - instead of moving from one thing to the next These are all very nitpicky though; I have to put on my critical hat to produce these opinions.

Some great people, and some terrible managers

Pros

Smart, lively, driven people. Most people try to really practice the values. Using Atlassian tools for all aspects of work provides great transparency and efficiency.

Cons

Extremely poor management on some teams. Where those managers exist, and valid concerns have been made to HR, problems are brushed under the carpet. The main goal has become productivity - so when it comes down to it, the values go out the window. This undermines any trust any employee can have in the company. The values have become more of a marketing / recruiting strategy rather than something employees can believe in and do their best work to support.
