Great Place to Work

Pros

Atlassian has a solid benefits package, good perks & location, beautiful building, but the best reason to work there is the staff. Atlassian employees are the most intelligent, laid back, emotionally intelligent, innovative, passionate, respectful, interesting bunch of folks I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

Cons

The company is no longer a start-up. The culture is changing rapidly, policies are being carved out, jobs are becoming more narrow and teams more isolated. It is still a fantastic place to work, but it is not the start-up it appears to be from the outside.

Pros

Great people. Great office in San Francisco. Flexible work hours. It's relatively easy to move into new roles. Very little politics.

Cons

Salary isn't very competitive. We aren't pushing the boundaries of what's possible with technology in the same ways that Facebook, Apple, and Google are.

The sad demise of Atlassian

Business Outlook

Pros

- Compensation - Remote work - Cool offices (albeit they sadly closed the Austin office)

Cons

- Incompetent management and poor corporate strategy - Hostile work environment (aggressive outbursts, mind games, your manager will take credit for your good work and throw you under the bus if anything goes wrong) - Actual culture is the opposite of the company's corporate values - Complete lack of communication and transparency (I knew more about our competitor's strategy than our own) - Broken performance review process (reviews can be brought down from a 5/5 to a 2/5 without explanation, without communication to your manager, and without recourse. HR merely says "we are happy with our performance review process"....maybe you shouldn't be and actually listen to employee feedback) - Lack of career progression opportunities (you won't be promoted and will receive nothing but excuses as to why) - Recent ex management consultant hires (no operating experience, no people management skills, a complete lack of transparency) - All the good people have left over the last 12 months The rapid reduction in Atlassian's Glassdoor rating from 4.3 to 3.1 in less than two years and the 60% fall in the share price over the last 12 months tells you all you need to know.
