Life@ Elastic: Engineering All Hands — Bringing it all together

Each year, Elastic hosts the Engineering All Hands (EAH) event, a gathering of distributed team members from around the world, which this year took place in Toronto, Canada. EAH is not just an engineering event but a collaborative platform where various departments such as recruiting, marketing, and sales come together to discuss processes, engage in cross-team interactions, and strategize on product messaging and development. The event includes scheduled breakout sessions and cross-team functions to foster collaboration and drive projects that require significant time and participation across time zones. EAH also emphasizes the importance of face-to-face interaction, offering opportunities for team bonding and cultural exchange through shared meals, fun activities, and informal gatherings. Additionally, the event features the creation of video interviews to share engineers' experiences, highlighting the inclusive and collaborative culture at Elastic, which reflects the company’s commitment to building products that users love while promoting teamwork and innovation across all teams.
