Pros

Some of the smartest engineers in the valley at this company. Many have backgrounds at the larger name brand companies, Amazon, Facebook, Google, etc. Almost of the C suite people are already extremely well accomplished; you can check the company website to see their bios. This gave me a lot of confidence in the company when I joined and that confidence has only grown since I've been here. This company is going all the way to IPO, I can feel the energy and am on the ground level witnessing all of the incredible stuff we are building. Very excited for the future of this company. Perks are quite good- free lunch and dinner and a bunch of great snacks.

Cons

Diversity is a big pain point- the majority of the engineering team is Indian male. Considering I fall into this category, it doesn't affect me as much but I can see how it would be slightly off for people with different backgrounds. However, I don't envision that people would treat others with different backgrounds differently. People at the company have been very accepting and nice.

Thanks for your feedback. We are tackling diversity and inclusion on a few different fronts-- both in recruiting and in supporting our underrepresented minority team members who already part of our community. Hope you will help us in these efforts!

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.
