Pros

The benefits package is outstanding

Cons

Inept leadership, terrible culture. No one in the the sales leadership should be in a management position anywhere, but especially not at a scrappy startup.

Pros

- CEO Ajeet is amazing - his vision for the company is truly gold. - Health benefits is a huge plus (100% paid by the company) = shows it's dedicated to employee's physical health - Interviews are relatively easy

Cons

- With a lot of gender disparity in Silicon Valley, ThoughtSpot is similar in that regard. It has a huge bro culture and can be toxic to certain departments - There is a miscommunication between what's told from interview vs. what's expected once you're on the job (some say it's typical growing pains and others say it's lack of true transparency) - The culture isn't for everyone and can impact one's mental health -- many employees are flashy-fast movers for their career

People, Product, Perks: great place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

* Management/leadership is friendly, supportive, and on top of things * Great product and (again) senior leadership * Fast-paced/Challenging * Use of Slack for collaboration * Open-mindedness * Everyone genuinely cares for one another as long they're working hard * Holiday parties * Perks

Cons

Cut throat make or break culture. However, keeps the rhythm going and maintains a fun, upbeat culture (in my opinion)...so not much of a con in my eyes.
