Elastic's reviews on Glassdoor are stellar: https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Elastic-Reviews-E751551.ht.... I work with the parent on Kibana and the reviews don't even tell the full story of how nice it is to work here.

Looks like the work is good.But not sure of their hiring process.I always get the same canned response.Is it that some bots do it or recruiters.Their job description includes that we don't care about titles etc,but not sure if they are really following that.

How do folks working in different time zone work in general ? Is the firm open to folks in orthogonal timezone?

[cjcenizal]

Kibana team members are in time zones around the world (and sometimes inconsistently since some team members travel and work simultaneously). Most of our communication is asynchronous through GitHub, email, and Slack. When we need to have synchronous conversation we set up video calls, sometimes ad hoc and sometimes scheduled. We try to be mindful of each other’s personal lives and preferred working style and generally things just work out.

how much experience are you looking for ideally. Your company page says you're looking for backend engineers and I am really interested in working with distributed systems. The catch is that I am inexperienced and a new graduate

Any C++ related positions?

[courtewing]

We don't do much with C++, unfortunately. The closest thing to this would probably be golang on the Beats team.
