Pros
Elastic is awesome technology with tons of growth as Generative AI becomes more and more relevant in IT. The sense of community and the teams I work with are awesome and I feel welcomed and embraced as part of the community. Especially for people who are new to sales they are encouraging and allow you to grow and develop before really worrying about performance first.
Cons
As it shifts to becoming a major enterprise/billion dollar business the culture is transitioning. "Come as you are" is part of the source code but I am feeling more and more of a shift towards traditional corporate feel. At least for sales, people care more and more about dressing professionally and paying attention to office politics. Being able to dress comfortably and treating everyone like an equal were some of the reasons I was most excited to work here, and I feel those liberties being taken away. I had one of my bosses tell me "You have plenty of friends and you shouldn't be looking for friends here"
