      Pros

      - Class leading product - Great talent and people

      Cons

      Whenever i mention to my friends that ThoughtSpot just had another round of layoffs, they react by saying: "Again?" "Didn't you guys have a good quarter?" In my 15+ year tenure in the valley, i have never worked in a company that fired so many people while seemingly doing so great. For context, in the last 2 years, my team has lost 75% of its members in layoffs. We are constantly working in fear of being the next one to be "axed". We keep our head down and go about our business trying to pretend we care about a product/company that cares so little about us. It's even more troubling that the leadership will entice its current members that we have a "excellent healthcare", "good pay" etc, but they always forget to mention we don't have a 401k match and our yearly salary bump is a mere $4000 at best. LOL

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. It's never easy to part ways with talented colleagues. These decisions are incredibly difficult, but they enable us to invest in high growth initiatives that are powering the future of our company. Doing so is the best means to create value for employees, current and former. If you'd like to discuss this further, I invite you to reach out to me directly.

      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.
