Pros

Pay well, decent benefits (that are being removed), and remote work.

Cons

I came to Atlassian from a toxic environment thinking I had found a company that had strong empathetic, people-centric values. A place where people enjoyed working. It showed in the tenure of many of the folks. Instead, I have found even more toxicity running deep and wide. On top of it all upper management has been vocal that they are actively trying to increase attrition. Confirming that people are only of value as long as we are producing work at our peak performance. Although no one knows what they should be producing (including management). I am not naive that this is a corporation trying to make a profit, but I didn't expect such blatantly extractive practices toward the people who have made this company what it is. Especially from a company that preaches its values far and wide.

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.
