Pros

Atlassian has stepped up their perks and now offers everything you could ask for and then some in terms of benefits of a tech company. In a fast paced environment such as Atlassian, the career opportunities are endless and I find that I am constantly challenged with new and exciting opportunities. All employees live by our values and rely on them for decision making. The Experience team is A+ and consistently throws amazing events to keep the culture something special and slightly quirky. Management is upfront and open about current events with all employees keeping everyone involved.

Cons

Atlassian operates as a very global organization and in working with teams in different timezones you will inevitably have evening meetings if located in the US. This can be a benefit though, because if you travel it is always to a great city.

Pros

Great culture! Great benefits! Great people! No Politics! Great Founders! Great location & office! Flexible schedules!

Cons

Not enough praise. Too many critics. Too much open talk about women in tech and sexuality in the workplace than is needed, creates an uncomfortable place to talk about your opinion. Culture is not everything. Nobody is really on the same page. So many different things, and some alike, happening at the time and teams and even people within the same team are not aligned. Too much information on CAC and not clean to be able to sort and know what is accurate and/or what is important. The global aspect is hard to adjust when your team is throughout 4-5 different offices on complete opposite time zones. There is a lack of communication, which is hard to believe when everything is on CAC, but it's not easy to digest. People tend to use EAC as the method communication and forgot how valuable face to face meeting are and how effective they are. Along the lines of communication, setting expectations is the lack of and often times can you bite you in the but, but that might just be my team because I actually don't think that aligns with our company values.

Pros

Really great employee benefits, resources, and remote lifestyle. Very intelligent and driven people. Occasionally opportunities for travel and social gatherings.

Cons

Performance review (APEX) occured twice a year and creates competitiveness, stack ranking, and low morale. Research particularly has been slashed left and right with lay offs and isn't considered a priority. Leadership is actively replace UXR with AI.
