Pros

Only A few good colleagues,

Cons

Oh My Gosh..Long working hours-most of the year you are expected to work 10-14 hours a day,and no overtime pay. Modern Slavery... Working is fine,but the people here are the worst. There is 0 communications between team members.Except a few good people ,rest of the team garbage..Managers suck...No leadership,no vision....Team members shares interview questions with their friends before interviews so they can be hired..And Most of the time interviews are done just for formalities,event you got interviewed ,they just say you "Sorry but you are not enough for us"(we wanna hire our friends not u...)..so u should not waste your time...

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.
