Pros

- The most "human" Sales environment I have experienced anywhere, so far. Yes, we have OKRs, but we work towards achieving them as a Team, and we constantly ask those around us  "What can I do to help you?" and they keep asking the same in return. There is no room for lonely wolves, and this type of behaviour of individual heroism which is celebrated in many companies, does not make you stand out in a good way at Atlassian. This shows in really strongly positive customer experiences, as we genuinely work with customers best interest in mind, and to ensure long term value realisation and an ongoing positive end user experience through strong link from us in sales to our product development teams.  - The company lives up to its values every day, even if they sometimes stand in the way of faster growth or easier ways to achieve success  - The company thinks long term, with employees, partners and customers  - Co-founder and Co-CEO of Atlassian Scott Farquhar is also co-founder of Pledge-1, which operates through Atlassian foundation.  Atlassian Foundation was created with the vision of helping make the world better. As a company, we contribute 1% of annual profits, 1% of employee time, and 1% of company equity to the foundation. For me, personally, this was one of many really positive things about Atlassian, which eventually made it an easy decision for me to choose to join this very admirable company. I am really happy where I am and I know this sentiment is shared by many across our organisation, as we one step at the time keep unleashing the potential of all teams.. And yes, I am really proud to be part of this and not holding it back!

Cons

- Atlassian is still a kind of big startup, and it can make some needing fully thought processes uncomfortable. There is plenty of room for experimenting, and it requires certain level of capability to embrace uncertainty and makes you look for answers.. For me this is a positive, but I put it here as a negative to highlight this as area that is likely quite different compared to many other more structured sales organisations.

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.
