Pros

Pay is decent. Daily Uber Eats lunch benefit is nice.

Cons

My role’s scope, focus and resources shifted significantly after onboarding, and it no longer matches what was presented during the hiring process. This is a very reactive culture that does not value strategic planning or prioritization, only rapidly putting out fires. "Unlimited PTO" is impossible to utilize in this culture as every season is "busy season". Even federal holidays are treated as inconveniences to work getting done. Healthcare HSA premiums are covered by the company and frequent company contributions are made to employee HSA accounts. In contrast, what you get charged for visits under Aetna is out of this world.

Hearing this from someone in Finance, where the work is demanding and the margin for error is small, genuinely means a lot. The fact that you're experiencing the culture as values-driven and not just values-stated is exactly what we're working hard to build. The pace is real and so is the opportunity, and we're glad that combination is landing as energizing rather than exhausting. Thanks for taking the time to share this.

Really glad the work-life balance and the technical team are working well for you — those are things we actively invest in and it's good to hear the signal is positive. On management direction: we hear you, and it's feedback we take seriously. We're in a phase of focused growth, and we know that can sometimes create ambiguity at the team level. We're working to tighten that alignment. If there's something specific that felt unclear, we'd genuinely welcome the conversation — reach out to people@thoughtspot.com.
