Pros

Atlassian still knows how to have fun and is a workplace that doesn't take itself too seriously, despite producing awesome things. Forget the dry meetings and layers of red tape; fun is built into the Atlassian values, and its employees don't forget that. Management at Atlassian is very hands-on, and there is really no sense of hierarchy. Today, I walked by our events room as our General Manager put out all the chairs alongside his EA. I've worked at 'Best Places to Work' before, but Atlassian has nailed its culture.

Cons

Be ready to be open! Everything is open and shared at Atlassian by default. You're encouraged to give and accept feedback from all parts of this business on your ideas and your work. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it works :)

Advice to Management

Invest the $ now to create a workplace that every woman in tech would kill to be part of. With tech opportunities doubling and female representation in the industry slipping, it's critical we keep every awesome woman we have while attracting the best still out there to join us.
