Pros

-Good amount of problems and challenges to be solved -Great culture and people. Very open and engaging and friendly. This makes a lot of difference -Managers are enablers. They can vouch for you but they can't promote you, they don't have that power. This reduces politics and favouritism -Ownership is expected and followed -Amazing documentation -Decent salary -Good benefits

Cons

-Differences in perks across geographies. For example for US on call allowance per day in $50 on weekdays and $100 on the weekends and all other countries have the same pattern except India where on call allowance per weekday us ₹900 and for weekend it's ₹1200(not ₹1800). We equally love to enjoy our weekends just as any other country, why is there pay parity here? -Other places either have fully equipped gyms or fitness reimbursement. In Bangalore office, fitness room is a joke and there is no fitness reimbursement -Insurance amount limited till 1000000 INR even with voluntary top-up. It should be increased -Base pay salary increments not upto the market standard. Hope they change this

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.
