Great pay and culture, but innovation needs improvement
Great pay and culture, but innovation needs improvement
The pay and work-life balance are great. The leadership team really cares about its employees. There is a lot of collaboration, and the overall culture is strong.
There is a lack of innovation in our Observability Product. Search and Security are the only products worth selling in the market. There is a lot of toxic positivity where it's nearly impossible to get fired. The talent ranges from high to lazy and unmotivated within the engineering and product organizations. We are not on pace to be competitive in the AI landscape.
Get rid of engineers who have been at Elastic for a long time and no longer care to build great products at an accelerated rate.
