Pros

I worked at thesis for a little longer than year and saw many changes, but by the time I left, I can confidently say Thesis is a great place to work. The culture is like family, and the leadership strives to bring in diverse people of color and participate in the equity efforts of the local community. I've never had more fun and learned more about people different from me at a job than I did at thesis! Because thesis has been growing, they have been attracting senior-level talent who are looking for a place to share what they know and grow the company. There's a contagious excitement this creates, and it's invaluable the conversations you can have with your managers, who have had truly amazing careers. Their new location in the Pearl is awesome. Amazing work/life balance with unlimited work from home policy. You're treated as an adult and expected to your own work, of course. I was on a team of 20 designers, but even with so much growth, it seemed like the people only got closer. Managers truly care about their employees and are real people, not aloof and talking to only their peers. This is really a great place to contribute what you know because everyone gets so excited about having someone talented and contributing. They pay VERY well and there are a ton of opportunities for mobility.

Cons

Some pitches DO go late past 5, but they try and not always have that happen and if it does, you can usually go home early the next day or take a day off. CEOs are a bit aloof and could be more transparent/around the office. Company vision is a little vague still as they are defining who thesis is.

Pros

Thesis has been an incredible place for me to grow professionally. I've had the opportunity to learn, take on meaningful work, and be supported by some of the most talented and thoughtful people I've worked with. What stands out most to me, though, is the personal care and humanity I experienced during a very difficult period in my life. Both my manager and the CEO went far beyond what I would ever expect from an employer, offering compassion, flexibility, and support that allowed me to take care of myself and my family when I needed it most. I will always be deeply grateful for that.

Cons

Like any organization, there’s always room for growth and improvement. But I’m 100% committed because I believe in the leadership, the people, and the direction we’re heading. There’s a real sense of care and purpose here, and I’m proud to be part of it.

Pros

The people doing the day-to-day work are the company’s greatest strength and the primary reason many employees continue showing up each day. Teams are filled with talented, hardworking individuals who consistently deliver despite significant organizational challenges.

Cons

Leadership feels increasingly disconnected from the realities of delivery and employee experience, with an overwhelming focus on revenue and margins above all else. At the same time, leadership frequently overcommits to client demands and approves work at unsustainable or negative margins, only to later criticize teams for failing to meet financial targets created by those decisions. Employees are often treated more like interchangeable resources than long-term contributors, resulting in exceptionally high turnover and a constant revolving door of talent. Any meaningful, innovative, or strategically important work is routinely handed to external contractors rather than internal teams. These efforts are often executed in isolation, with little intentional knowledge sharing or investment in growing the capabilities of permanent employees. This creates frustration, limits career growth, and reinforces the perception that internal staff are not trusted with the company’s most important opportunities.
