Chaotic & no proper vision
Chaotic & no proper vision
- True remote culture
- Some good managers and people with passion
- Good compensation & benefits
- 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.
Some engineering practices do not fit a company like Elastic. Start defining company-wide policies and stand by them.
