Pros

Amazing company values which are lived and breathed. You will be held accountable to them, which is a good thing Lots of intelligent honest people. The hiring bar is high Clear and structured job promotion paths Huge amount of opportunity for mentorship, and to guide others

Cons

Requires a high degree of empathy, collaboration and teamwork (not a bad thing, but there is a much higher bar for crisp communication and the aforementioned areas than in previous companies I've worked in)

Pros

- Fair compensation - Perks - Inspiring CEOs that are the real deal, they do what they say. - A company that wants a better world, big focus on the environment (pretty much everything the company uses either supports a charity or it is sustainably sourced) - During the COVID crisis, the true colors of the CEOs came to show, truly blown away with the company support and generosity on crisis times.

Cons

- There are some worrying glimpses of Amazon culture (brought by ex-amazon leaders on high management roles), basically, there is a big push from a couple of individuals to copy what amazon does in terms of processes; unfortunately, the promotors of these also bring some of the micro-manager cultures where you see managers reporting to the CTO asking very low-level implementation questions to the teams, perhaps in an attempt to emphasize but generating the opposite effect. - It is a big company, there are lots of processes. Some of those not super useful. - The level of reporting is excessive some times, on a normal week I can have around 3 to 4 status report meetings where basically I repeat the same message. You may wonder, why don't you fix it and merge them. Well, it is a big company and it is not that simple as some of these people require different contexts. So be prepared for lots of reporting.

Pros

University that pays you to learn. The company has an awesome culture and people. With the time I spent, I have grown to appreciate the interview process even more. Once you are selected to work for Atlassian, you are already been set for success. There is no looking back. Don't think it's an easy task to be an Atlassian. It's very easy to get overwhelmed and feel like an imposter when you see the awesomeness of colleagues. The tech stacks are ever-changing, you can't get too comfortable with anything. Nothing in the company is static except learning and applying those learning. Every department/ team defines its own ways of working and hence celebration.

Cons

Nothing I can think of
