Process
I applied online, and a recruiter emailed me asking for my time schedule to set up a phone interview.
The interview lasted for about 15 minutes, and in the end, the interviewer told me that he would get back to me in two weeks.
But I never got a reply from them for more than two weeks, so I sent an email asking for an update. Two days later, I got a reply saying they were still evaluating candidates and that I was still being considered for the role.
No news for another two weeks. So I sent out another email asking for a decision. I got a reply that some other candidate had been selected.
Questions
I wasn't asked any technical questions.
Only questions about what interests me and about my previous projects.

Elastic Work Experiences
- 3.0Chaotic & no proper visionSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeAmerica, United StatesOctober 7, 2025Pros: - True remote culture - Some good managers and people with passion - Good compensation & benefitsCons: - 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.
- 2.0A lost causeSolutions Architect • Former EmployeeApril 30, 2023Pros: The benefits are pretty good. Working-level people are friendly.Cons: Top management does not seem to know what they are doing. There is no clear strategy or company direction. Middle management in APJ spends their time focusing on making their bosses and one another happy. The management sadly seem to be simply out of their depth.
- 4.0Great technology but tricky management dynamicsSolutions Architect • Current EmployeeLondon, EnglandJuly 3, 2026Pros: It is a great company and technology to work with.Cons: Middle management and upper middle management were tricky.
