Pros

Great for a while. Exhibited values for a while. Stock was good for a while. Acted like they cared for a long while. TEAM Anywhere will always be good.

Cons

Brought in a ton of outside leadership from companies that did not reflect Atlassian values and completely tanked the culture that Atlassian had always preached. This was within the last few years. Co-founder and Co-CEO left and the remaining Co-founder and Co-CEO went to town. A ton of the C-suite left and was replaced by people from companies who do not seem to care about culture. Values disregarded. Horrible professional behavior was rewarded while good people were laid off or left because they saw what was going on.

Pros

Amazing people, I loved the core values, competitive salary, great benefits

Cons

I want to start by saying I am not bitter or angry. Working for Atlassian was a whirlwind. I was there for 11 months before being laid off via email. In my time there, I went through 2 re-orgs and 3 managers. It just always felt like being on a hamster wheel… in a hurricane. Today I received an email 7 weeks after I was laid off that started with, “ Congrats on your first year at Atlassian—we know that's a huge accomplishment and are beyond thrilled to be celebrating with you!” It was a bummer to receive that, to say the least, but it included a link to leave this Glassdoor review to “ help provide invaluable insight to future candidates and help us to improve your experience as an employee continually.” so here I am. My advice is to do proper change management of your automated emails when you layoff 5% of your workforce so that emails like this aren’t sent to hard working former employees that you eliminated congratulating them on a milestone they never reached. I know this wasn’t intentional, but it hurt.
