Pros
- ThoughtSpot's core culture is built on the values of "selfless excellence", i.e. not just do excellent work and continuously raise the bar but also be selfless in doing so. There is zero tolerance for company politics and focus is truly on the impact one brings to the company. - I feel that I am doing the best work of my life and pushing the envelope in innovation in a space that has seen very little of that in past decade or so. I am being able to utilize my Computer Science depth and breadth and working on lot of fun and innovative problems. - Company is run by a visionary CEO and one of the best CTO I have had pleasure working with. No idea is considered small and information flow is very open. Slack channels are used for information flow with zero filtering and hence any news good/bad is known to everyone so that we are all on the same page on company roadmap, priorities and challenges. This is extremely empowering. - Engineering depth is enviable and I feel like I am learning a ton from the experts in almost all areas of Computer Science! - Company has the best health care options possible with ZERO cost to employee!
Cons
- Ethnic/Gender diversity in the company in engineering needs a lot of improvement. Having said that company is very committed to making that happen and I am seeing the positive outcomes already! - Company recently moved to catering lunches from Eatclub+Farmhill to GrubHub. Sadly GrubHub doesn't have much healthy choices and hence needs to change real soon.
