      Pros

      I like this job function, I like helping people. There were red flags from the very beginning and I ignored them.

      Cons

      When someone tells you that they just hired their 'best friend', RUN. Because there are other things they will divulge about them to you which can be inappropriate, I don't care about anyone's sexual orientation, you should keep that to yourself. Also, errors were occurring from the very first calendar invite. I received a calendar invite was addressed to someone else. The LinkedIn profile attached to another calendar invite was that of a different person, it wasn't until about 20 minutes into the interview that I understood I was talking to the wrong person. I didn't get invited to my own orientation. These errors continued once I was inside with misinformation when it came to start dates and offer letters. On this person's own, no one else on the team was getting the necessary paperwork without having to send out a search party or delay their onboarding. In the short time I was there, helped automate the onboarding process so that no one on the team would have to rely on the Director for any paperwork.

      Thank you for sharing your experience here. Unfortunately when you joined ThoughtSpot in April, it was at a time when the People Team was going through some significant changes and there were certainly a lot of mistakes being made. You and I discussed the challenges of the transformation we were undertaking and the impact it had to your role, and why in the end you weren't the right fit for the stage we were in. We are continuing to focus on building out the People Team and have significantly improved our processes over the past few months. I am very proud of the team and what has been accomplished.

      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.
