Pros

-Insane pace of Growth -Opportunities to learn and gain new skills -Working on cutting-edge tech with other smart people -My colleagues care deeply about their users and about the company as a whole -My team helps customers tackle complex problems in a concise manner -Culture - accepting and caring. -Lots of autonomy -Very transparent from the top down -Strong leadership (from the C Level executives down) -Opportunities to learn and gain new skills -Perks- benefits are AMAZING -Most importantly, I feel appreciated and secure in my role. In my opinion, ThoughtSpot realizes that people are important. It’s hard to find the right fit. ThoughtSpot is the right fit for me.

Cons

-Sometimes work life balance is crazy. It can be exhausting. The plus side, if you learn to speak-up and ask for support you will receive. -You are surrounded by some of the MOST intelligent people in the valley. It can be a bit intimidating. I find comfort know that ThoughtSpot’s culture encourages challenging your peers and thinking through complex problems. Keeps you wanting to learn more and try harder.

Hearing this from someone in Finance, where the work is demanding and the margin for error is small, genuinely means a lot. The fact that you're experiencing the culture as values-driven and not just values-stated is exactly what we're working hard to build. The pace is real and so is the opportunity, and we're glad that combination is landing as energizing rather than exhausting. Thanks for taking the time to share this.

Really glad the work-life balance and the technical team are working well for you — those are things we actively invest in and it's good to hear the signal is positive. On management direction: we hear you, and it's feedback we take seriously. We're in a phase of focused growth, and we know that can sometimes create ambiguity at the team level. We're working to tighten that alignment. If there's something specific that felt unclear, we'd genuinely welcome the conversation — reach out to people@thoughtspot.com.
