Pros: - True remote culture - Some good managers and people with passion - Good compensation & benefits

Cons: - Too many management layers without proper decision-makers. - Managers and engineers are afraid to make decisions. This is a result of the last layoff, which was clearly top-level mismanagement. - Personal opinions are valued over common goals. This creates chaos and makes products lack vision.

Pros: Good work-life balance, etc.

Cons: No cons. Love working there.

Pros: - Working with talented people makes a nice change. - Great flexibility between work and play. - Very executive team who strive to make the company the best it can be.

Cons: The balance between open source and making money is a tough line to walk, but Elastic does it pretty well! There are some growth pains, but that is expected with such a company. If you need a highly structured environment to work in, this might not be your place.
