Pros

* Awesome people. I really enjoy working with everyone here. A lot of them have become my personal friends too. * Inspiring culture. It is everything the website says and then some. * Constant learning. I have learned more here in a year than in most of my previous jobs put together. * Fun environment. I really look forward to coming to work every day. * Salaries and benefits are on par with the rest of the industry. * Ability to move internationally. I have worked in two offices and know a lot of people who have worked in every office we have for a few years i a row. It is much easier to move between offices here than in any other company I know. Even if you just want to go and work in another office for a couple of months only.

Cons

* Maintaining work-life balance is not hard but takes a conscious effort. (which is really a pro in some ways because you end up loving what you do at work so much) * Once you have worked here, working anywhere else is just unimaginable.

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.
