Pros

- Great culture in most of the teams and overall organization wide - Lot of new opportunities and quality work - Atlassian has some of the best people in the world, with everyone so knowledgeable yet humble. Everyone is always ready to help others, no negative competitions, and everyone believes in having open discussions and knowledge sharing - This company is known for its values and being an employee I have experienced it myself that how much importance is given to every value Atlassian talk about. - Atlassian provides some of the best perks which I don't think any other company provides, from reimbursements of all the necessary things to delivering frequent goodies and a lot of paid leaves.

Cons

- Some teams can have more amount of work which affect their work life balance while some teams can have less amount of work which affect the overall growth and learning. Leadership try to maintain a balance but sometimes it's just not possible. - In teams which contribute directly to Jira codebase, the complete process of getting the code merge becomes overwhelming and affect the velocity of teams.

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.
