Pros

The company pioneered the customer success movement and used to have a lot of talented people.

Cons

This is discussed by everyone but leadership is lacking. The CCO has only held pre-sales roles as a technical solutions consultant, and not appropriate for the position. It’s disappointing to see ineffective leaders rise simply because of their relationships with the C suite.

Pros

I absolutely love working at Gainsight. The leadership team is thoughtful, strategic, and genuinely cares about both the business and the people behind it. There’s a strong culture of innovation and building are encouraged and brought to life. The products are thought leaders in the space. Customers who fully invest in it and continue to educate themselves across the platforms consistently see strong ROI and genuinely love it. What really stands out is the environment: mistakes aren’t met with blame, but with coaching and support. You’re challenged, backed, and given the space to grow while doing meaningful work.

Cons

Like many growing companies, some processes and change management can feel a bit disorganized at times. That said, there’s strong awareness across the team and leadership, and a real openness to change everyone recognizes the opportunity to drive more efficiency and is actively working toward it.
