Pros

The culture at Atlassian is one of the brightest things about it. It is a good group of happy people working hard to make it easier to work together. The upper management is very open and does their best to answer the hard questions. You are given a ton of autonomy but with that comes an expectation to perform at your best. The SF location feels like it is a very balanced place where company events feel like a party with a group of your friends rather than awkward team building tasks. The values are extremely important to the company and everyone can quote them, not because they make you feel good, but because you use them in your job every day.

Cons

Timezones - Global company forces meetings at odd hours, not much that can be done about this. Meeting rooms - we need more of them, lots of empty desks. Open office - I would like some more places to be by myself rather than constantly on display.

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.
