Pros

I would have had a long list 5+ years ago when I started, but the only pro is loving the people I work with and enjoying my actual work.

Cons

- Moving around internally hurts your pay band. You pretty much have to leave to get what you deserve to be paid in the new job - they are annually decreasing our health benefits every year - the annual pay bumps are 1-2.5%, not even inflation. They actually told us last year "it's not our job to keep up with inflation..." - they continue having silent and secret layoffs, everyone is on edge and just constantly worried - all of our top level managers are leaving, taking extended breaks, or being let go and replaced with ruthless execs that are changing Atlassian as a company. Heck, 1 of our 2 co CEOs is leaving. that should tell you everything you need to know!

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.
