Pros

Some of the pros of working at Atlassian are : 1. Great Culture. Lots of positive vibes overall. The company is very people centric and will make you not only a better engineer but a better person. 2. Smart and talented colleagues. 3. Appropriate pay. Best in class and very competitive pay as well as perks. 4. Great engineering practices. 5. Emphathetic people. 6. Remote first. You can work from where you are comfortable. Working at Atlassian is the best thing that has happened to me in recent years.

Cons

Some cons of working at Atlassian include : 1. Too many processes and hence it is slow sometimes. 2. Less work means that it is not suitable to people coming from high velocity places like startups or Amazon. 3. Impact opportunities may be limited. Though, appreciation for work is always there. 4. Being well rounded is super important here. Just writing tons and tons of code will not get you anywhere.

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.
