Atlassian

Management through the founders is highly invested in their employees. As an example, through the COVID-19 pandemic, they have constantly reached out and encouraged employees to take time off to help alleviate the stress some are enduring from having to manage working from home and their families.

For those that work in the office, a high-functioning and desirable environment is created by providing their employees with breakfast, lunch, snacks, drinks, ice cream, and even an open bar at the end of the day. There are also plenty of mental break opportunities from board games, pool, foosball, video games, and more.

Atlassian lives, breathes, and eats their values. The values aren't just some gimmick that get referenced when people feel it is convenient; these drive all of the work and commitments that are made.

From a compensation and benefits perspective, they really take care of their employees. Their unlimited vacation is truly unlimited. As an employee in my first year, I was able to have time off around the holidays with my family, spend a week with my daughter in Cancun, as well as take other days off to enjoy other time. After leaving a company where I had accrued over 5 weeks/year, I didn't find myself at the bottom, just working without any time to enjoy life. They strongly promote a work/life balance.

It is for these reasons and so many more that contribute to a healthy work environment and happy employees. I work with some of the best people. I am so happy to call myself an Atlassian!

Honestly, Atlassian is so refreshing from the powerhouse corporate company from which I previously worked. I have nothing bad to say.
