Pros

Best company I’ve worked for All sales teams consistently hit their goals Benefits are very very good: 4% 401k match. Free health insurance. Unlimited PTO. Equipment, phone, and gym memberships reimbursements. 5-6 months of paid parental leave. You can work from anywhere The energy of a tech startup combined with strong training, resources, and WLB of a larger, established company. No layoffs or hiring freezes Solid leadership that encourages an honest and open culture. I’ve never seen this level of transparency before. It’s refreshing Accept the offer. You won’t regret it!

Cons

Always something new to research with a constantly evolving offering of products, features, and integrations

Pros

I love working at Atlassian. I primarily joined for a better Work-Life balance, and it delivers on that--though I will say it might vary based on what team you are on (though generally good). The Atlassian values are embraced by everyone. You'll find support for your new ideas, and you'll be less impeded by office politics. I hope to never leave. - Really collaborative culture - Strong adherence to values - Great support for innovation - Solid benefits - They are still newish to data science, so a lot of opportunities to contribute in a meaningful way to the business - You don't need a PhD to work on machine learning models here - Remote work is well-supported - Large company but still feels startup-y in many ways. You thus get the stability of a company that's not about to go under

Cons

- Funding decisions are often driven by initiatives; infrastructure work or long-term projects are often underfunded and understaffed - Wish they offered a stipend for remote employees to join coworking spaces - Less data maturity than some tech peers, so tooling or data quality may be work-in-progress - A lot of "data science" work is actually analytics--know what you're applying for - Still very Australia or Pacific-coast staff heavy, so east coast workers may find it annoying - Promotions are less quick than I'm used to

Pros

+ This is the only company I know that actually lives its values. That is pretty amazing. That said, this is changing. + Could be an amazing place to grow your career, they are growing rapidly and if you can ride the way, in a short time you can be moving up the proverbial ladder + Australia (if you visit)

Cons

- The blogging culture - it is a culture about writing, and 'showing' something has been done. This worked really well when Atlassian was small, and works well for transparency - but it feels like it take a blog to get anything done. If its not blogged about its not real. Keep this in mind, for you to succeed here, you will need to blog and build a brand for yourself internally through it. - It is not a product-led company, it is founder led company. This means the major strategy decisions are done from the top. There are exceptions to this rule, i.e. Jira Service Desk came up from a hackathon - Atlassian is amazing at marketing process, playbooks, Jira etc, but they do not use it the way it was intended. Do not look at the material and think they have things figure out, if anything its worse on the inside, BUT there is "appetite "to improve. There is no standardization across teams, which has its pros /cons.
