Pros

Nice, centrally located offices with a good vibe among (most) employees Good stepping stone to start off a career in the software industry

Cons

Middle and senior management is mostly clueless and inadequate to the tasks they are supposed to be fulfilling, often covering up their own missteps with demeaning and retaliatory behavior towards staff and customers. Indeed they once had a thriving, much ballyhooed company culture. Nowadays you'll find it runs rife with micromanagement, favoritism and unsavory business tactics.

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.
