A rare "big company" find

Product marketing

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you're looking for the security and stability of working at a big company but still seek the freedom to try new things, then Atlassian is for you. At about 3000 employees and several global offices, it's in that precarious in-between of small and big company. For now, it's holding onto to what makes smaller companies so appealing: minimal politics / hierarchy, the ability to try new ideas, there's no bad idea, etc. People are genuinely nice and want you to succeed.

Cons

The only inevitable downside of a growing company is there a ton of various teams and functions. Planning how all these team support each other has become a bit of a headache.

One year in and I would not want to miss a day

Business Outlook

Pros

- Very "human" company. Yes you got targets and OKRs, but if you miss them, the first question is always "What can we do to help you?" - Company lives their values every day, even if they sometimes get in the way of faster growth or easier ways to success - Company thinks long term, with people and customers - Very product focused company with lots of focus on feedback and improvement - The whole organisation loves to give back to the community (old laptop auction with money gathered going to charity, foundation leave, donation matching,...)

Cons

- Very product focused company, which can be great, but also creates a bit of - As in every company, there are some "holy cows" that can not be challenged - Growth can also challenges and increasingly unrealistic expectations, targets can be therefore a bit "out there"
