Pros

Company has always tried really hard to improve and be the best workplace. Always amazed at this. Lots of challenges for technical people both in legacy code and new directions, technically and product/feature focused areas. Real opportunities to shine if you want to forge your own path. Unique culture. As well as usual sport teams, People playing cards, board games, computer games till late on Friday nights.

Cons

Some of the openness has a cost. If you have a less than experienced manager it may be up to you to seek out ways to improve, can be a challenge if you're a quieter type, for need encouragement, but I believe the opportunities are there and the problem is acknowledged and being worked on.

Pros

Great Location! Some great people. Excellent catering....

Cons

Middle and senior management is mostly clueless and inadequate to the tasks they are supposed to be fulfilling, often covering up their own missteps with demeaning and retaliatory behavior towards staff and customers. Indeed they once had a thriving, much ballyhooed company culture. Nowadays you'll find it runs rife with micromanagement, favoritism and unsavory business tactics.

Pros

The company is constantly growing at a rapid pace, both in terms of head count and customer revenue. Most people within the company are smart and bring their own specialised knowledge to create a company with great capability. The culture is great, everyone is socially laid back yet focused on performing their work to their best. Strong customer base and innovative business model that works well will fuel growth for a long time to come.

Cons

Whilst I am an itern (so this doesn't affect me), it is common perception that salaries are reduced from market rates for the luxury of working at Atlassian (which may or may be worth it depending on circumstances). With so many intelligent people within the company, you are competing against all colleagues for promotions, rather than just a handful of people if it were another company. There is a struggle to keep the culture and quality of employees during rapid growth as Atlassian has begun to saturate its reach into the Sydney tech talent pool. Some employees have the social maturity of a 15 year old, and this mindset thrives in a company without the typical corporate culture.
