Pros

- Lots of opportunities for innovation and growth if you are really motivated and a self starter; - If you are lucky, get to work with a lot of super smart people in great products in exciting projects; - Fast growing company, good for the resume, lots of visibility for the market outside; - Many extra-work activities to join (yoga, pilates, soccer, fitness class);

Cons

If you are unlucky, there are also: - Bad managers are everywhere (3 to 1); - Some projects are not interesting and you might get stuck there, be careful when choosing (if you are given the opportunity to choose); - The silos are there, people relocating usually will have to stick mostly with other overseas people. Not a lot of "local" cultural interchange; - Management career path is much easier to progress than the technical, most people will never make it past senior level if they don't become managers;

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.
