Pros
+ This is the only company I know that actually lives its values. That is pretty amazing. That said, this is changing. + Could be an amazing place to grow your career, they are growing rapidly and if you can ride the way, in a short time you can be moving up the proverbial ladder + Australia (if you visit)
Cons
- The blogging culture - it is a culture about writing, and 'showing' something has been done. This worked really well when Atlassian was small, and works well for transparency - but it feels like it take a blog to get anything done. If its not blogged about its not real. Keep this in mind, for you to succeed here, you will need to blog and build a brand for yourself internally through it. - It is not a product-led company, it is founder led company. This means the major strategy decisions are done from the top. There are exceptions to this rule, i.e. Jira Service Desk came up from a hackathon - Atlassian is amazing at marketing process, playbooks, Jira etc, but they do not use it the way it was intended. Do not look at the material and think they have things figure out, if anything its worse on the inside, BUT there is "appetite "to improve. There is no standardization across teams, which has its pros /cons.
