Pros

If you're looking for the security and stability of working at a big company but still seek the freedom to try new things, then Atlassian is for you. At about 3000 employees and several global offices, it's in that precarious in-between of small and big company. For now, it's holding onto to what makes smaller companies so appealing: minimal politics / hierarchy, the ability to try new ideas, there's no bad idea, etc. People are genuinely nice and want you to succeed.

Cons

The only inevitable downside of a growing company is there a ton of various teams and functions. Planning how all these team support each other has become a bit of a headache.

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.
