Atlassian, the $19 billion Aussie tech giant, tried to make its new San Francisco office the best place for teams to work together.

  • Atlassian, the $19 billion Australian software giant, has new offices in San Francisco.
  • The new digs take up six floors, but Atlassian is currently only using four.
  • Atlassian invested heavily in making this office represent the company's ideals around teamwork - the desks are on wheels, there are tons of nooks and crannies for quiet conversations, and even the artwork on the wall was created by teams of artists working together.
  • We visited the space, take a look around.

Atlassian, the $19 billion Aussie software giant behind the popular Jira bug-tracking tool, takes the concept of teamwork seriously - so much so that it literally trades on the stock market under the ticker symbol "TEAM."

So when Atlassian moved into new San Francisco offices this year, the company took the opportunity to rethink how its own employees work together. In the same way that the new Apple Park campus reflects designer Jony Ive's attention to detail, Atlassian wanted its headquarters to be at the cutting edge of design that encourages people to work together.

"Companies are realizing that physical spaces are a reflection of the culture," said Helen Russell, Atlassian's chief people officer, in a recent interview.

We swung by Atlassian's new digs to see how it put that concept into action.
