Pros

- Incredible office space, location, and view (downtown Austin) - Extremely "lax" environment - People at every level (even the founders) are extremely friendly and very open to discussion ("no bullsh!t" value is very well respected) - Lot of focus on office culture & events including family and friends as well as work-life balance - Benefits and compensation match industry best

Cons

- Can be pretty demanding at times, depending on which team you're on - Sometimes the focus doesn't seem to be in the right place - Products have become pretty complex and we're losing out on some market due to more polished, less functional competitors

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.
