I met some great talented people.

Everything else.... Lack of leadership and drive from the top down. Sad to see the hard work of so many people go to waste

Pros

A team of hardworking, talented, and dedicated people. Good product that solve real problems in the right market. Good benefit. New management team is proactive and is making a difference.

Cons

It's a startup, so it's not for those with unrealistic expectations. The engineering team is in Spain and the time difference means sometimes people have to stay up really late or get up really early to work together when there is an urgent issue.

Pros

Engineers - Some really skilled engineers that are really trying to build a good product, although many have since departed The Space - if they could get the product to work it could add some value. DevOps is an exciting area of innovation, that innovation just isn't happening at ElasticBox.

Cons

The founders seem to live in a parallel universe where it is OK to completely lie to employees and potential customers. I've never seen such a culture of fear and blame, where employees have no authority, but complete responsibility and the two founders each run the show independently and often contradict each other leaving the employee at a loss as to what to do. There have been multiple rounds of layoffs and multiple complaints filed against the CEO so morale is very low - with all the other great Devops companies out there, I would definitely recommend you look elsewhere. Don't make the same mistake I did
