Pros

-Extremely good benefits/pay -Casual culture that embraces your passions -Great office with coffee and free lunch every day -Above average internal mobility -Good work-life balance -Good internal knowledge sharing for new employees. Uses an extremely modern tool stack (no MS Teams!).

Cons

-Like most tech companies, there is extreme pressure to build the rocketship as it is flying. This affects internal morale and the UX for customers and employees having to cover for poorly built systems/policies -Atlassian has more products/deployments than it knows what to do with, and that confuses both customers and internal teams trying to advise when and why certain tools should be used to solve different project management use cases. -Atlassian makes even the mundane unnecessarily complex with processes and policies

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.
