A great company that truly cares about its employees
A great company that truly cares about its employees
- Great benefits
- Space Time (a week of hacking/improving your domain)
- Volunteering time
- Competitive compensation
- 2x a year company/team outings
- Fully distributed/remote
- Make your own schedule
This is all subjective and is based on my own unique situation/experience.
- Management/Leads sometimes pressure the release of new features instead of fixing/maintaining existing code/bugs/features.
- The measurement of your performance is heavily tied to the amount of pull requests and activity shown on your GitHub profile.
- You will have to do a lot of customer support as a software engineer. Probably around 70% of my time went into SDHs.
Again, this is mostly based on my own personal experience and is a reflection of management/lead, not the company as a whole.
Management: Please abide by your own imposed "blameless" culture. I had a manager who always blamed missed feature deadlines on me personally. It didn't matter how many other things you did or how many "overtime" hours you worked; your performance/value is heavily affected by how many features you ship.
For the most part, my achievements/strengths went unnoticed, and my mistakes/weaknesses were always confronted "loudly."

Elastic Interview Experiences
Senior Solutions Architect
Very thoughtful and courteous. I appreciated the “someone like me” program. It made me feel supported even during the early interview phase. Follow-ups were timely and from a real person versus an automated system.
Cloud Engineer
The interview process started with a typical HR/corporate recruiter screening. From there, the process was broken out into 6 interviews: the first three with technical staff and the last three with management. All interviews were conducted over Zoom
Channle Manager and Development
Wonderful, professional, and the follow-up was incredible. From the initial phone screen to the actual interviews, it was handled professionally and expeditiously. There was even post-interview follow-up to make sure everything was handled correctly.
