      Solutions Engineer Interview

      5 Sept 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Palo Alto, CA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ThoughtSpot (Palo Alto, CA) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      It took at least six interviews plus a homework assignment and WebEx presentation to make sure there is awareness of how to properly handle common types of BI complexities, such as working around chasm traps that occur when multiple fact tables are reported upon in one query. You use your own preferred BI tool to do this, not ThoughtSpot. After all that was finally done, in order to make an offer, management requires you to take timed online intelligence and personality trait assessments. The results of these tests are disclosed up your future management chain, but you are prevented from seeing those results. These tests provide a two-way mirror for management to look into your psyche. However, because the results are not disclosed to you, you have no idea what information they contain. This employment practice is not widespread, and it leaves one wondering how that intimate information could potentially be used for or against oneself in all future matters of employment, potentially including how they treat you during initial salary or annual raise negotiations. A manager told me, "the CEO likes to have these profiles of all pending hires" and "not to worry." Nevertheless, it made me feel there is tendency towards an imbalanced, potentially unfair manager/employee power dynamic right from the start.
