Pros

It was a good company, the values actually meant something back in the day. Pay was good, team members are second to none. Remote work

Cons

The leadership. The cliques are disgusting. Management changes the orders and directives weekly and expect you to jump when they say jump. They have created a dynasty of ball stabbing leaders who don’t dare question orders and the second you have an opinion that differs from theirs you better start packing your bags, you are out buddy! It’s like high school all over again with these children leaders. Things just keep getting worse. Oh and don’t get me started with HR, ha! That’s a joke! They will side with toxic leaders full stop. If you like being on a PIP 24/7 because you aren’t hitting sales goals, this is your type of place.

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.
