Run, Forrest, Run - Senior Software Engineer ThoughtSpot Employee Review

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!!

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

- good team members and peers in mid-senior management - flexible time off (sort of) - amazing product - great tools for building with AI

- 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.
