There's no such thing as a free lunch

Pros

Free lunch Benefits Wacky t-shirts Australian accents Fun activities

Cons

The great south pacific cargo cult: Atlassian. A corporation trying its hardest to be an ersatz Google, both culturally and technically. Don't be fooled. The wacky t-shirts, hackathons, goofy hats, etc are a thin veneer over the rapidly declining cultural edifice. Prepare yourself for constant absurd politics, pointless territorial battles, and immature/ineffective management. The stateside brands (BitBucket and HipChat) represent small vanity projects on the fringes of the larger JIRA and Confluence empire. If you work on them you will be irrelevant. Additionally these two brands are 'also-rans' compared to the more prolific products in their respective sectors (GitHub and Slack) so you unfortunately don't even get any prestige or credibility.

Pros

The company has some great benefits: - free eat club - generally nice co-workers - good core values - cool products - good work tools - cool work

Cons

Atlassian's a very close knit community with a pretty toxic culture. The HR is also seems corrupted and that makes the climate to be one of the worst for what I've seen in the bay area.

Pros

Nice, centrally located offices with a good vibe among (most) employees Good stepping stone to start off a career in the software industry

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.
