Pros

Good pay, WFH, decent benefits

Cons

I previously enjoyed going to work everyday, getting things done and helping others. The past year and especially the last few months have squeezed every ounce of motivation out of me. I now feel depressed & completely burned out. Every six months, we are asked to prove to the company why we should keep this job. This is all anybody cares about. I work 40 hours a week but am constantly stressing about work outside of those hours. On-call sucks. My P60 is hardly helpful and only cares about their metrics. Pay is not worth it.

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.
