Pros

Still Remote/WFH in 2025 Actually competitive comp and benefits (assuming $TEAM gets it together)

Cons

Frequent layoffs lower morale and cause employees to be fearful for their roles. An entire regional site was eliminated with little warning. company direction has never been more unclear. too many acquisions for employees to be able to keep up with. Values eroded. Stack ranking and curve fitting enable sabotage, teammates won't help each other if time and work can't be attributed to personal growth pillars, and performance metrics like PRs are gamifiable. leadership is out of touch or just pretending to be. deflects questions and concerns in town halls about company direction, layoffs, job security, and instead just wants to talk about F1 a lot.

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.
