Pros

There really aren't many any longer honestly.

Cons

Atlassian is being changed to be like EVERY other tech company out there. Constant focus on nothing but "cost avoidance". Stack ranking for employee performance and people leaving in droves. This is NOT the Atlassian anymore of yore. It's a generic tech company that has some of the most ridiculous systems you can imagine. If there's not a process for something create two so everyone can wonder which one to follow. The focus is on cost cutting at the expense of culture and it being a good place to work. Focus is on hiring in low cost offices which means jobs in places like mexico, india, portugal.

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.
