Pros

- Good internal culture of calling out bad choices by HR for employees - good side perks ( eg budget for setting up wfh equipment) - Focus on remote workers as first-class citizens. If you want to travel while working or work from home you can do it here.

Cons

- Internal mobility can be difficult (have to apply for a team, and stay in teams for at least a year before relocating) - Salaries are location-based which doesn't make sense from a pay equity perspective (particularly for non us/aus based employees such as in india) - Focus on remote work makes in-office experience pretty disappointing for a tech company. If you prefer to work from the office it's not as good at atlassian

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.
