Pros

Great benefits, lovely offices, lots of free food, drinks and games.

Cons

Unless you're a white man, it's nearly impossible to grow your career. Atlassian talk a lot about diversity, but in reality there are remarkably few women or people from different ethnic backgrounds being promoted into leadership roles. The company is run by a huge network of middle management (team leads) who are all trained to push their teams as hard as possible and get the most from them. This leads to a really competitive environment, long hours, constant pressure and a complete lack of work / life balance for devs. You are expected to be online at all hours, especially if your team is based across different offices.

Pros

Smart, engaged colleagues Good opportunities for self starters who are willing to dive in, be a change agent and lead Founders are drivers of the business and serve as examples of the company values and vision There is a genuine desire to improve and grow and keep/build the best company culture and environment to attract the best teams A growing fast, successful company - the urgency and energy is motivating and contagious

Cons

Salary is lower than expected but total package is good for a multi-year commitment It's a relatively young company so some functions are still evolving - like HR and middle management
