Pros

* all the employees positively live by the core values of the company. * as far as I know there is a lot of positivity within and across teams and if you're stuck you're free to ask anyone. * you can even talk to your skip manager at any time just to say "Hey!" and have a casual chat. * The products are amazing and you're free to do any improvements(code-wise/UX wise) if you find them. in fact, you're encouraged to do so. * code standards are important. quality cannot be compromised.

Cons

* As of now, can't think of any. let's see how this goes. will update if I find any.

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.
