Pros

I have worked for Gainsight for 1.8 years and have seen lot of positive transformation . Earlier it was only engineering function but now we have many cross functional teams. Always chance to advance and be challenged. The office itself has been transformed in recent year to cool working place from earlier crowded environment . The management is not shy to discuss difficult issues. . ( open cabin policy). The technical work environment is very challenging and fulfilling. Lot of opportunities to learn and make an impact. CEO is very transparent and that shows all various levels in the organization.

Cons

As with any growing organization , decision making needs to get decentralized. . Ideas from new folks should be taken seriously.

Pros

There aren't many opportunities in life to work for a company that isn't seeking to disrupt an existing market, but rather to create a new one. That bold vision and thoughtful execution has catapulted the role of Customer Success Manager to recognition as one of CNN's 'Best Jobs in America' in 2017, and as a result, Gainsight as the leader of this new Customer Success movement. The work is hard, but incredibly fulfilling. What I appreciate most about Gainsight is that senior leadership is attentive to the strain that scale can put on employees, and very transparent about challenges when they are surfaced. This constant self-assessment and push to do better for both teammates as well as shareholders is what makes Gainsight truly a great place to work.

Cons

I mentioned this above but scaling is very hard, especially for a company of high ambition like Gainsight. The hours can be long, but it's less of a 'con' if you genuinely believe in the mission of the business and feel challenged and supported in your role.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad to hear your experience thus far has been positive. While I still think we have a long way to go to get to the company we want to be, it's good to hear affirmation along the way.
