Pros

Company has always tried really hard to improve and be the best workplace. Always amazed at this. Lots of challenges for technical people both in legacy code and new directions, technically and product/feature focused areas. Real opportunities to shine if you want to forge your own path. Unique culture. As well as usual sport teams, People playing cards, board games, computer games till late on Friday nights.

Cons

Some of the openness has a cost. If you have a less than experienced manager it may be up to you to seek out ways to improve, can be a challenge if you're a quieter type, for need encouragement, but I believe the opportunities are there and the problem is acknowledged and being worked on.

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.
