Pros

On your first year salary is good. Stocks, free food, great working spaces. They do their best to try the open company no bs policy. There are like in any copany great individuals fighting to instill the great values and good vision for culture.

Cons

If the problem is the manager, hr tends to shy away from this, if its an individual contributor its easy to let them go. Performance reviews however great your performance will only translate to a raise, until you reach a point ur earning more. Work from home is very nominal, unless u have a relationship with managers you’ll be thoroughly questioned. Innovation is welcomed for shipit, but it doesnt always sit well with leads specially if its not their idea, so tread lightly if you dont have a position and you want to keep breaking some eggs. When management makes a mistake, keep queit about it, in my experience it never goes well if you talk and people who talk and challenge the behaviour vs the culture dont always get good treatment.

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.
