Pros

- remote friendly, with office to go to if you want

Cons

- 0 work life balance, many weekend and past business hour work - grind culture - work load is too much, environment is chaotic - don’t practice what they preach, they don’t even use the systems they sell properly or how they are telling their customers to - tool itself (confluence, jira) are not well maintained and incredibly buggy even for internal employees - jira hell, ticketing chaos, time consuming processes - pay is not good, don’t get fooled by stock, th stock is crashing non stop so get ready to lose money, work load is insane, and they are absolutely under paying compared to other companies

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.
