Pros

Atlassian is a company that actually cares about it's people. They live and breath their values rather than just paying lip service to them. In my short time at the company - which has coincided with the pandemic - I've been offered floating days off that don't come out of my leave as well as full mental health support with free therapy sessions. Not to mention the 5 extra days off a year they offer to spend on volunteering. If you're going to work for a huge corporation, you want it to be one that actually *cares* — it feels like Atlassian really are doing their best in this regard, and I respect that

Cons

Nothing really stands out here. Nowhere is perfect... I might have a different opinion about this after my first performance review though, so take this with a grain of salt

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.
