Pros

- Care about people, their special needs, different situation, etc - Support and help to get their job done, improve and grow in their career - Quality is important and integrations are in place to make sure of that (git hooks, pipelines, etc) - Lots of opportunity to learn and try different things

Cons

- It's a bit overwhelming specially first couple of months - Processes and routines differ from team to team - Lots of docs but still lots of tribal knowledge to be transferred as well - Might feel a bit chaotic at times

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.
