Process
After a couple of rounds with HR, I got to speak to the hiring manager. Although he initially contacted me about the job, saying that the fact that I haven't been using ELK doesn't matter at all, in the end, he couldn't recall how we ended up in contact. It turned out that previous experience is needed. All in all: a loss of time.

Pros: Small and access to all.
Cons: No cons at this time.

Stagnant, Terrible Leadership
Engineer • Current Employee
August 29, 2024
Pros: - Great benefits for healthcare and retirement.
- Team members are smart, fun, and great to work with.
- Work can be interesting and challenging at times.
Cons: Immediate managers consistently are not considering IC concerns from leadership demands, refuse to listen to the concerns outlined because they don't know how to manage up, and then blame ICs for said issues once leadership sees the issues themselves. It's a terrible way to manage a team by shifting blame, instead of taking ownership and effectively managing expectations with leaders.
Some team members have been randomly let go, which is sad. It doesn't appear due to performance issues, as there were no PIPs and severance was given. Perhaps something about shifting blame?
Management isn't keen on investing in your career growth; they wouldn't approve reimbursement for certifications.
Does that sound like a company you should work for?
