Pros: Love how open and honest communication is. Great benefits and compensation. Everyone is positive, and 99% of people are A-Players. Working at Elastic, you are given a lot of responsibility, but can also trust your coworkers to accomplish anything. No one is hired here who needs hand-holding. Experimentation is highly encouraged here; no one says 'no' to new ideas. You're free to experiment with new innovations.

Cons: Travel is required since it's a remote company. I'm not always up for that, but in aggregate, it isn't too bad (I only need to fly every 2-3 months). Flat hierarchy can make understanding product direction tricky at times.

Pros: - good teammates - challenging problems

Cons: - Too much politics among mid- and upper-management. - Untruthful management. - Not keeping up with the pay market. - It's easier to change jobs than to get promoted.

Pros: A fun place to work if you like working.

Cons: Requires a good amount of focus.
