High Turnover, Poor Leadership, and a Toxic Sales Culture

Pros

Smart people in pockets of the org who genuinely care and health insurance.

Cons

• Sales leadership is deeply misaligned with what good enablement looks like. The VP of Sales lacks meaningful experience (less than two years as a rep before jumping to a leadership role), and unfortunately, it shows. • Instead of developing the team, leadership frequently inserts themselves into late-stage deals and plays games with pricing, often creating more chaos than support. • High turnover in sales isn’t just a trend—it’s a red flag. There’s a constant revolving door, which speaks volumes about the internal culture. • Minimal onboarding or enablement for new hires. You’re expected to ramp yourself while navigating unclear processes and shifting priorities. • Morale is low and transparency is lacking. Decisions are top-down and rarely in the best interest of the team.

Thank you for your candid feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn’t reflect the standards we strive to uphold. While we’re proud of the many talented individuals across our teams, we recognize that consistent leadership, strong enablement, and a healthy sales culture are critical — especially in a competitive and fast-moving environment. High turnover and inconsistent onboarding are real concerns, and we’re actively working to address both with more structured programs, clearer processes, and a stronger focus on coaching and development. We take feedback like this seriously. If you're open to it, we’d welcome the opportunity to hear more — please feel free to reach out to me directly or connect with your HRBP. Your perspective helps us improve. Thank you again for your contributions to ThoughtSpot.
