Pros

The darling of Australian companies. Some people are nice. Generous perks (although many are tad gimmicky). Products are useful even if they are boring.

Cons

During my time there, I constantly bullied by my manager and constantly being targeted by her passive aggressive comments and actions. The Bro Culture runs deep that make you feel either part or against the group. Few of my colleagues didn't even last more than 6 months due to the millions of red tapes and hoops you need to jump in order to get things done. The middle managers are the worst.

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.
