Pros

A really sharp group of motivated people making really useful products. At its heart there is a genuine element I think due to Scott and Mike - they are there to build great products and a great company, doing it differently than the norm. So things like social responsibility are built into the culture at its core.

Cons

They were exceptionally great at giving sharp people big things to chew off and in doing so, sometimes it works and that person grows along with the new function. So if you're sharp and a hard worker, there are good opportunities to try things.. However the concept of growing and cultivating people and finding exactly where someone's strengths were flourish.

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.
