      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.

      Good tech, bad culture/people...

      Pros

      Technology and product are solid. Customers love it. Wage and benefits are good. People in the field work together fairly well although some have their protected little islands. Could be a great money making opportunity if you're ruthless, willing and able to take a risk and you can deal with the politics.

      Cons

      Just a horrible company culture. There are a lot of buzz principles flying around like "selfless excellence" but in reality it's excellence in mediocrity and politics. Often startups preach a fail often and early strategy...ThoughtSpot does this with people. Sometimes as soon as 1 month in, talks are happening about letting go a new hire. Granted if this were an isolated case it could be about the employee, but with multiple people clearly something else is going on. Some good leaders left and some others were let go. Beyond my personal opinion, just look at their actions. Recently the CEO did an interview on how to scale to a billion and he openly talked about replacing and changing out people for the different stages of growth...like he was talking about office furniture. Personal development and growth, or training weren't mentioned. Or just see how HR provides a stock answer on here to each negative review. It's ice cold.

      I appreciate your feedback-- I see how HR responses can look stock though our CEO and myself are reading each one and investing time to figure out how we can learn and improve. It can be challenging to respond specifically to anonymous feedback. So I encourage you to reach out to me individually to share any additional details so I can followup and make sure we don't make the same mistakes again. If you don't have my personal email please request it at hello@thoughtspot.com. And if you don't wish to do so, that is ok too, and we wish you the best of luck.
