Pros

Superb environment: smart, nice, ethical people, easy access to management, great food (!!), fun place. Company lives it values, doesn't just talk about them (like most companies in my experience). One of the core values is: Open Company, No BS. The company lives that one really well. (Glassdoor political correctness will not allow me to spell out the full word of the value)

Cons

Pretty intense. company growing like crazy; produces a bit of occasional frenzy. Also, shifting priorities can produce some stress; however that also produces lots of growth opportunities, and chances to switch teams when priorities shift. Australian company; they can be pretty direct.

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.
