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"

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.
