Pros

This place is just pure "awesome" * The hallmark of any good company is great culture. Here at Atlassian it's OK to speak your minds. Prioritize customer over politics. * Lot of smart people - especially getting hired recently as it is attracting a lot of talent. * Great people - seriously you can take any to your family. * Opportunities are boundless. This is a fast growing company. * Work-life balance - cannot compare to any other company in silicon valley. Combination of doing well and not being a sweat shop. * Business model - Unique business model which would be hard for anyone to copy. It is the next generation enterprise software company.

Cons

* Sometimes too many people have opinions about your work without any context. Can slow you down if you don't know how to handle it. * Compensation is not at the level of companies like Google or Facebook.

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.
