Working at Elastic exemplifies a culture of freedom and trust, allowing employees to work remotely and independently, fostering a sense of belonging and teamwork. This approach contrasts with previous experiences where being physically present in an office was mandatory. At Elastic, the emphasis is on establishing trust and shared objectives, enabling employees to work effectively from anywhere in the world while feeling part of a supportive family-like team. This culture of freedom is complemented by the use of tools like Zoom to maintain connectivity and social interaction among globally distributed team members. The company has experienced significant growth, expanding its support team from 6 to 34 engineers, reflecting the success and increasing user base of its products. Employees are encouraged to explore the world, as demonstrated by experiences working across the globe, which enrich personal and professional lives. This sense of freedom and responsibility requires effective communication and self-management, making Elastic an attractive workplace for those passionate about open-source technology.
