Pros

* Won greatest place to work 2 years in a row * People are nice, intelligent * Some teams are great, 5/5 experiences * Stock does well, company succeeds in the market place

Cons

* Stopped winning Greatest place to work... * The teams I've worked in have been 1/5 experiences * Was demanding of my time out of regular office hours, and stressful both in and out of hours * Salary initial offer was good, but salary progression was a joke * Not much learning on the job to be had * Culture varies greatly between areas In all honesty, it has been the worst workplace I've worked in.

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.
