Pros

There are really so many it will be hard to summarize then all here. - Culture! If you are seeking a place that makes you feel cared about as an individual this is the place. In today’s times I’m grateful to be a part of the TEAM. - Benefits! Even without all the office perks like snacks, food etc. You will be given so much more than those “perks” that all tech companies assume makes their benefit package and culture great. There are too many to list but here’s a few; paid health benefits for the whole family, mindfulness and well being benefits, encourage volunteer time, encouraged work/life balance. - Growth! While the growth plan won’t be meticulously delivered at your feet you will be given the agency, opportunities to push yourself further without the fear of failing. They encourage everyone to do continuous learning either for your current role or the role you’d like to move to. - Change! I love evolving and making changes quickly when something is not working. I’d give 5 stars but we all recognize we can always be better and that includes our CEOs.

Cons

If you aren’t a “pick yourself up by the bootstraps” type I can see how the pace, transparency, and available content can be overwhelming on where to start and to continue. If you don’t like continuous improvement (frequent change) you will also not fit with the culture.

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.
