Pros

None anymore. The changes are making it just like any other tech company but strange processes that are overly ridiculous. The amount of people leaving at all levels in the last few months is only accelerating.

Cons

Atlassian no longer pays 100% for health insurance and is forcing ONLY the US employees to now pay for part of the premiums the company used to pay for 100%. Every major change in the last year has had the words "standard" or "market" justifying every change in taking things away from employees. If you want to work for a "market" or standard" type of tech company, this is it! The reviews from more than a year ago no longer apply as it is NOT the same company anymore. Atlassian is the WORST place ever if you want a promotion. the amount of hoops you have to jump through is hilarious. All for MAYBE a 5% raise? The effort does NOT equal the outcome. Stack ranking....good luck with this!

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.
