Pros

Work hard play hard culture with good work-life balance, autonomy to pursue the best work of your life, people are loyal to company values (we don't just talk about it, we live it!), Peer Kudos, Unlimited holidays in SF office, Free Lunch (though you pay the taxes) and fitness benefits. We're growing like a rocket so there are opps to move around.

Cons

If you want to advance you would find more opportunities in HQ in Sydney. Still maturing as a company, not much process/red-tape also means things are vague sometimes, but you can see that as pro or con depending on your personality.

Amazing people, could use more structure

Pros

The people here are awesome. They really are. Everyone is smart, passionate, and very hard working. The perks (free lunches, fully stocked kitchen with any kind of snack and drink you could ever want, gym membership, public transportation stipend, paid maintenance for your bicycle, free in-office yoga, etc., etc.) and company values are also second to none when compared to other places I've worked.

Cons

Disorganization and lack of process in, well, most departments. The company is growing at an unbelievable pace so this is understandable/expected, however, it's not for everyone and can be extremely frustrating at times. If you're a fan of having a fully-structured work life, Atlassian is probably not your cup of tea.
