Pros

I love working at ThoughtSpot as a member of our marketing team. The culture is very team first, highly collaborative and the team has a bunch of awesome people who are easy to work with. There is motivation to do well and see the company thrive. The leadership is personable and approachable. Our product is amazing and we want everyone to know about it!

Cons

Mostly just typical startup culture…sometimes long hours and Slack messages after hours or on weekends.

Pros

I've been with ThoughtSpot for coming up to 4 years now and it's been great. Things I love: Culture of selfless excellence Execs are always available to help No politics Freedom to approach things in my own way Quarterly wellbeing days

Cons

The centre of gravity of the company is in the US, so sometimes other regions can get a little left behind. Because of the above, it can be difficult to catch up on watching recordings of US timezone calls, while also trying to get everything else done.

Pros

High pay, great health insurance (most often prescriptions were free), great incentives for employees.

Cons

To start, onboarding was a disaster. My laptop was delivered a day after my first day, I had no access to core systems, and was placed on technical training with customers and partners which prevents the ability of employees to dive deeper into more specific use cases. Second, the department I was in was a total dumpster fire. No tiering of customers, no tiering of internal employees (senior v standard), and no minimum thresholds for customers to qualify for CSM coverage. I quickly learned I was paid so well because the technology often didn't work properly. Third, internal resources were spread across multiple applications, were often outdated, and the admins of the content were no longer at the company. Often times I was advising customers on outdated documentation. Fourth, turnover is incredibly high at every level. I knew of 2 senior leaders who left within 12 months of being hired due to the high disfunction and lack of direction from senior leadership. Fifth, leadership is close-minded to input and advice from individuals even though they preach "selfless excellence." I provided multiple solutions to help the internal team be more efficient and yet I was turned away and told that "it was in the works." Lastly, the company has no culture. Leaders in my department were uninspiring, unsupportive, and unreliable in setting up individual contributors for success. Whenever I asked for help, I was often given a half-assed answer and no real solution.

I first want to thank you and everyone else who takes the time to write a review and provide feedback - open and honest feedback is important. As the innovative company in the analytics space (this is confirmed by Gartner as well as customers like Hulu, Snowflake and Wells Fargo among many others), ThouhtSpot has transformed itself from an on premise company to SaaS. Any transformation is a journey that presents challenges - however, as a company we have been very successful at not only managing through change but more importantly, providing tremendous learning and growth opportunities for those who decide to join us. ThoughtSpot is not designed to be in the comfort zone for everyone but our average tenure is actually above industry average. While our onboarding processes could be improved, we take pride in providing an open environment where customers, partners and employees can learn and participate together on all topics. We have a strong career ladder in place - built with guidance from individual contributors, your peers. Would like to end with a view from our customer event - we had over 1000 people attending our global customer conference, Beyond, in Las Vegas in May - while we are not perfect (and no company is) our vision is 100% validated by our customers.
