I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Elastic (Munich, Bavaria) in Dec 2018
Interview
The first call was with an internal recruiter from Elastic checking my fit to the role. The next call was with the hiring manager, which was great and very detailed about Elastic, the team, the position, the products and future. The technical peer call was canceled due to sickness of some people. But I was invite to meet the team in person and have the technical peer discussion in the Elastic office. The technical part was tough, but also gave an impression on what is necessary to do the job. I have not done the planed business and technical presentation as I have accepted another offer before that date.

Interview
round 1 - recruiter first to check your fitness with the role, skills, experience and budget, then round 2 - with hiring manager for personality and team fitness. They're all standard questions. I didn't go further because of the compensation budget. Overall, it's a positive experience.
