ThoughtSpot is in a fantastic place right now, especially for those passionate about working on cutting-edge GenAI innovations. The product momentum is stronger than ever, making it an exciting time to contribute and shape the future. The people here are incredible—collaborative, smart, and driven by a positive mindset that makes every day engaging and rewarding. With the new CEO at the helm, the company feels revitalized, bringing fresh energy and focus. If you’re looking for a place with big opportunities, great culture, and strong leadership, this is it!

Cons

Some foundational processes and structures that are typically expected in a mature scale-up are still evolving. There’s room for improvement in operational efficiency and scalability.

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.
