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.

Interview with HR, then the Hiring Manager. Next comes an interview with the head of Sales for the region you are supporting. If the head of Sales approves, the interview moves on to the next stage, which is a Panel Presentation.
