Pros
The culture at Atlassian is definitely different than any company I have worked at. It eats, sleeps and breathes its company values in a way I never would have expected. The benefits are amazing. Just a few include: - Remote first company. Working in an office is available, but never required. - Untracked PTO and they want you to use it. They even schedule refresh days where they want everyone to take the day off to refresh and recharge. - Generous parental leave. 26 weeks for the birthing parent, 20 weeks for the non birthing parent. The company is also big on providing clear career paths and performance feedback which is refreshing to see. Atlassian really seems to be headed in a good direction as it has been historically. It keeps acquiring startups that align with its values and using their technology to improve its own and expand their customer base. These seem to be smart moves and for the most part, seem to go well.
Cons
This is the company that invented Jira, so it's Jira EVERYWHERE. If you are one of those people that can't stand using Jira, you might have a hard time. Open Company, No BS (Glassdoor made me sensor 😅 ) is one of the company values. This means they welcome feedback from employees and sometimes people really run with that. You may come across some spicy comments on announcements. Not necessarily a con since it's nice to see that management wants to hear the feedback, but sometimes it can drag on you if you are affected by negative comments. Or you can just not read the comments.
