Pros

I don't work there anymore

Cons

Work/life balance is touted as important, and yet anyone who's not grinding out 80 hours a week will be seen as detrimental to the team. They purchased the company I worked for and it was clear that my managers did not want me on their team. My manager actually said "that's great!" when I found a new position. They offered me relocation within Europe, and then AFTER the period to sign the contract had expired they decided to change that to the USA. After we had done renos on our condo and put thousands of dollars into preparing for the move. Forced enthusiasm is rampant, and entirely fallacious. The organization is absolute garbage, and they do not listen to anyone who is not a senior exec. Give this gong show a pass.

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.
