Pros

Atlassian is best company I have ever worked for, and I can't believe the amazing projects that I have been able to work on. In my two years at Atlassian, I have been able to achieve more at Atlassian than in my entire career. And I am constantly pushed outside of my comfort zone (but I think that's kind of fun). It's not the kind of place that your hand will be held, so it's really up to you to thrive and succeed. It is a company where the values are lived, and employees are really encouraged to be the change they seek.

Cons

Sometimes the work-life balance has been tipped too much on the work side. Silo's have started to form in the organization, and I think the M-team can address this by communicating across functions in a more effective manner.

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.
