Pros

Atlassian allows its employees to find their best fit within the company. I know of a lot of companies where one can get 'stuck' in whatever role they started in. Here, employees are empowered to move to new teams that are better fits for them. I'm continually amazed at how quickly workers starting in entry-level positions move into developer, product manager, and other roles.

Cons

Employees have to pay income tax on their otherwise free lunches. (first world problem)

Business Outlook

Pros

- Incredible office space, location, and view (downtown Austin) - Extremely "lax" environment - People at every level (even the founders) are extremely friendly and very open to discussion ("no bullsh!t" value is very well respected) - Lot of focus on office culture & events including family and friends as well as work-life balance - Benefits and compensation match industry best

Cons

- Can be pretty demanding at times, depending on which team you're on - Sometimes the focus doesn't seem to be in the right place - Products have become pretty complex and we're losing out on some market due to more polished, less functional competitors

Pros

I've worked other tech companies but never have I felt so genuinely inspired. I'm new to Atlassian. My team, as well as the company, seem to be aiming extremely high right now - big harry audacious goals. This can either add stress or it can inspire you. The latter is the tone I've experience from others here at Atlassian and as a result I feel it too!

Cons

Atlassian is growing so fast it can feel a little overwhelming at times... but honestly, at this point in my career and I'm excited to be working for a company that is going places. The feeling is something I think I'll overcome.
