Tech Challenges, Bad Management
Tech Challenges, Bad Management
Shut down days are great. Decent initial OTE.
No career path from SMB -> Commercial -> Enterprise for SAs.
Middle management leaves a lot to be desired.
Annual comp increases are trivial.
Three vastly different products to sell.
Security and Observability solutions aren't best in class.
Extremely technical and not straightforward to kickoff a POC.
Support is a joke, and CSE only engaged with small, month-to-month customers.
This makes the SA responsible for all these things.
The search solution was a little different; we definitely seemed to have an advantage in that market.
I'm extremely concerned now that AWS has released serverless OpenSearch.
ESS (Elastic Cloud) can't even autoscale to a larger CPU.
Lastly, there's the laying off 13% of the entire org. 90% of everyone in Austin was let go.
Company has core values, but those are only optional.

Elastic Interview Experiences

Initial screening call with recruiter and hiring manager interview. This is followed by a technical interview and a final presentation. Recruiter kept me up to date and provided timely feedback.

Takes about a month. Very smooth, and there's follow-up along the way. Interview questions are structured logically, and no prior product knowledge is assumed. You get to learn as you progress through the interview.

Lengthy with quite a few stages: recruiter, hiring manager, sales discussion, panel stage, and an exec interview. Takes a few weeks. Let them know if you have other offers in the pipe, and they will try to speed things up.
