Pros

I started with Thoughtspot as an AE in mid-September. The experience so far has been nothing short of incredible, and I could not be happier to be a part of this company. The company and leadership is hyper-focused on building long-term customer relationships, and the center of this is delivering valuable, ROI-producing solutions for clients. This creates a high energy environment of transparency & feedback. The product is disruptive, intuitive, and works as quickly and easily as Google, which is why the customer use cases are vast and impactful. The role is extremely autonomous (I work remote) and leadership gives you the trust to get the job done in your own way, while leveraging the vast resources the company provides for learning. Each employee I've met is the best in class, and all have been eager to help me in any way they can. Also, there are extremely strong internal processes, which have allowed the company to scale as quickly and successfully as they have. It has also made the onboarding process seamless. And lastly, this post wouldn't be complete without acknowledging how impressed I've been with the company's leadership. They drive a culture of selfless excellence from top down.

Cons

Hard to come up with any at this point...

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.

Pros

- good team members and peers in mid-senior management - flexible time off (sort of) - amazing product - great tools for building with AI

Cons

- burnout culture: "intensity" is a core value that plays out as burning people out, We've lost some good people over this. - when execs ask for feedback, and people are honest, they gaslight the folks giving feedback to minimize and dismiss the issues raised. - the week between Christmas and New Year's used to be company wide time off. Now it has to be approved by management. There were clearly some executives who wanted this to happen because they couldn't stand giving the whole team time off at once. See burnout comment above. - impulsive and reactive CEO. Fire drills every week that derail current projects. Downstream, we get harpooned by our direct C-level for not meeting deadlines. Other items have to be deprioritized in order to accommodate his urgent requests; there's no way around this.
