Pros: You want to explore Australia's top-tier tech company. Free snacks, drinks, and ice creams if you don't mind gaining weight. Business seems to be steady even when the environment seems to be more toxic every day.

Cons: The inside might not quite be what you are expecting. Hard work is not rewarding here; in most cases, I know it's rather punishing. Try not to do anything that upsets people who outrank you. Instead, try to provide them with the solution ready and demo it as easily as possible. The credit is theirs, but you'll be able to avoid pain in the future and hopefully switch teams when you are too sick of the status quo of your current team. It's a mediocre nine-to-five job. Do not bring your laptop home, and do not work extra hours. After a few years, I felt it was extremely unethical of me to encourage junior developers to contribute, even if they loved to. Nothing good will come of it. Instead, learn from the bad patterns here and invest best practices in your own projects to prepare for your future jobs. Performance reviews and pay raises are often incomprehensible. Due to the level of education, worthwhile contributions are ignored in favor of political goals to maintain benefits for certain people.

Pros: Sticks true to its values. Very caring and friendly environment. Really good benefits. An open culture where everyone has a say. Really good growth potential.

Cons: It's hard to come up with cons for Atlassian. The referral process communication could be made better. Nothing else.

Pros: Atlassian allows its employees to find their best fit within the company. I know of a lot of companies where one can get 'stuck' in whatever role they started in. Here, employees are empowered to move to new teams that are better fits for them. I'm continually amazed at how quickly workers starting in entry-level positions move into developer, product manager, and other roles.

Cons: Employees have to pay income tax on their otherwise free lunches. (First-world problem)
