Pros

Super fast-growing company; feels like a startup with big pockets and the level of investment across different programs keeps growing. The product marketing team owns the GTM, and by that I mean truly owns it and drives it. At other companies PMM tends to be just another marketing team but here if you are a product marketer you will have broader scope and responsibilities than in other companies. Pay is competitive, good amount of RSUs and very good flexibility to work from anywhere makes this a great place to be.

Cons

As with any big company, sometimes there's lots of red tape and different teams involved until decisions can be made. The procurement process (related to new vendor onboarding and contractors) is driven by sloths (if you have seen Zootopia, the DMV scene sums it up). Because the company is so hot, there's been a good number of middle management leaving to get executive positions at other places, but it also opens up career opportunities for other team members. Increasingly competitive market makes your work always interesting and in some cases too competitor-focused.

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.
