Elastic Reviews

Pros

The growth here has been insane and there are certainly shifts that need to occur. However, this is not a negative in my opinion. Cultures have to adapt and change, so seeing all of these new faces who bring new perspectives and ideas make me even more excited to see what’s to come. In response to the reviews about micromanagement, I have to disagree. I am treated as a professional all the time. I manage my own calendar. Yes, I may have to take a call earlier or later than if I was in an office but I am also afforded the opportunity to see my kids if I have a break, head to a doctor if needed without taking time off and other huge perks which I value.
- The people here are truly top notch. I am lucky to now know individuals I consider friends across almost all continents
- I truly do believe in our products and trajectory. I’m not a technical person, but I still think what we do is awesome

Advice to Management

I say continue doing what you’re doing. We cannot stay small forever and evolving is part of life. Can’t wait to see what the future brings

Pros

Elastic is comprised of smart, hard-working people who don't take our success for granted. They put an extraordinary amount of trust in their employees and they give them a lot of responsibility. I'm impressed by my coworkers and glad to work here. The internal systems here create a lot of transparency into projects and accountability at a personal level.

Advice to Management

I appreciate how open and direct the executive team is but you'll preserve the goodwill of your employees if you're consistently mindful of the fact that most mistakes aren't made due to a lack of good intentions.

Pros

I absolutely love working at Elastic. My recruiting and interview process was the best-organized and, frankly, most delightful experience I've had in my twenty-five year career. (Thanks, Anne!)

The people at Elastic from the CEO on down really do care about your experience of working at the company and it's hard not to be reminded of that every day. I hope to work for Elastic for years and years to come.

Advice to Management

Listen to employees. Read the surveys, Please do not hide behind layers of management. The CEO has some incredible technology and ideas, but the manager of sales development is a certified nimrod. It's disgusting to see such an incredible organization tolerate such abhorrent individuals impacting the lives of young talent. Please consider revamping the management hiring process.

Pros

Flexibility
Good challenges
Inclusivity
Friendly colleagues
Amazing work/life balance
