Pros
  • High growth
  • Tons of potential
  • Terrific benefits including paid healthcare + HSA contributions
  • Good culture
  • Elastic genuinely cares about the employees
  • Products are evolving fast and people love the tech
Cons
  • The company's transparency has really started to lack. Keep your employees informed and involved.
  • Getting through legal is a big pain. It is a massive hindrance to closing deals.
  • A good amount of turnover in sales leadership.
Advice to Management
  • Embrace "remote" company wide, not just selectively.
  • Stop focusing so much on selling and developing search solutions. Focus on observability and security.
  • Reduce the red tape to close business.
  • Find some new partners to focus on.
  • Continue building out the security practice.
  • More focus on mid-market/commercial sales. This is the niche that Elastic can really excel in.
  • It's time to let people get back to travel if they are comfortable with it.
