Pros

* Atlassian has purposefully foster an incredible culture * Atlassian has a lot of really great events * There are always bootcamps running for you to learn about anything * The quarterly company wide hackathon is awesome * The free amenities and food are amazing * The work life balance is whatever you want it to be. Some people work 9-5 some people do more and some people do less. They also have a lot of events during work time. * Some of the products are great and some are okay but all of the products are continuously improving and are used by a lot of people around the world

Cons

* Some of the repo's have legacy code pains * It's hard to diet with so much free food (even though they offer A LOT of healthy options)

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.
