Pros

Unique business model. Actually makes a profit unlike many other 'unicorns'. I have a lot of faith in the direction of the company. My team is full of great people who help each other out. While the code I work on today is a bit old, the newer stuff the company is working on is right on the money for where we should be going technically. You get to work on software that is used everyday by millions of people. There isn't anything else like this in Australia except maybe for Google. The company is constantly growing so there always new opportunities if you are ambitious.

Cons

Like any successful software company there is a bit of clunky old code you have to deal with from time-to-time. Your experience at the company can change a lot depending on the team you are in. There are some awesome low level managers (like my own), and some more average ones. In general I would say most of the companies problems stem from the HR department. There seems to a lack of experience and vision there. They just feel disconnected from the rest of the otherwise awesome company.

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.
