Pros

Used to be a great company until acquisition of mode analytics. Please ignore previous reviews. It was really good company until start of 2023 Jan. Things have drastically changed to a downfall and the stress, chaos is not worth your time joining here. Posting here for your own benefit if you are thinking of joining.

Cons

Too much cost cutting at every levels and benefits no structure and you could be layed off anytime No customer focus, everyone is running chaos and dosing fires. Plans change every week worst case, best case everymonth. No long term vision for product. Too many egomaniacs and politics for a company of this size.

Company going through hyper growth. Ability to change with market conditions. Company is building a culture based on values, commitment to success and it's employees. -Free lunch in office!!

Cons

As with any startup, there is a lot to do!! However, we have challenging and exciting opportunities to help customer solve their problems

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.

Really glad the work-life balance and the technical team are working well for you — those are things we actively invest in and it's good to hear the signal is positive. On management direction: we hear you, and it's feedback we take seriously. We're in a phase of focused growth, and we know that can sometimes create ambiguity at the team level. We're working to tighten that alignment. If there's something specific that felt unclear, we'd genuinely welcome the conversation — reach out to people@thoughtspot.com.
