Pros

Decent benefits and a sugar-coated story about values that use the F-word as shock value but does not live up to anything they make you memorize onboarding.

Cons

Leadership is all scared of each other. They all will toss you under the bus to make themselves look good when they themselves have no business in the role. It is the most toxic culture I have ever witnessed. The PIPs are real and they don't even really tell you that you are on one. I would run like hell from any recruiter calling me from TEAM. Just look at their stock. I wouldn't wish this place on anyone. If you value peace of mind this is not for you. I've never had such anxiety anywhere and its a relief to not feel that any longer.

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.
