Pros

This is the best company I've worked for yet in my 15 years of working. Nothing ever gets boring and things fly along at a breakneck pace. People are high performers, management are mostly technical themselves and everyone's intentions genuinely seem to come from a place of caring about greater outcomes than their own career advancement. It does foster innovation from anyone, no matter what level. Great place for those who have ideas and can forge their own path. Management is fairly lean, accessible and do care. It's a great office, though I've only been there a handful of times due to being remote and then covid. I've had a few "surprise" gifts sent during the year which have been lovely.

Cons

This is also the most disorganised company I've ever worked for, but there is a order to the madness that just takes time to understand. It can be overwhelming for newbies for at least 6 months. Onboarding will vary from team to team. Not a great place if you like to be told exactly what to do and how to do it (at least not in my team).

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.
