Pros

The people are good humans. No hidden agendas. No politics.

Cons

The CEO has lost his way. Every week is a new strategy that just adds work and doesn't move the needle. My role has become a 60 hr work week with only a 2% increase in the last 3 1/2 years. SPIFFs have changed so our team is actually making less money year over year with higher expectations. Gainsight used to be a healthy work, hard play hard company, Now it's just work hard, and work harder.

Pros

I absolutely love working at Gainsight. The leadership team is thoughtful, strategic, and genuinely cares about both the business and the people behind it. There’s a strong culture of innovation and building are encouraged and brought to life. The products are thought leaders in the space. Customers who fully invest in it and continue to educate themselves across the platforms consistently see strong ROI and genuinely love it. What really stands out is the environment: mistakes aren’t met with blame, but with coaching and support. You’re challenged, backed, and given the space to grow while doing meaningful work.

Cons

Like many growing companies, some processes and change management can feel a bit disorganized at times. That said, there’s strong awareness across the team and leadership, and a real openness to change everyone recognizes the opportunity to drive more efficiency and is actively working toward it.
