Job Benefits

At Gainsight, we don't believe in doing things as a "means to an end." Life is too short to have anything short of a joyful work environment that we passionately believe in. We think that "work vs. life" is a false choice created by pundits, cynics and consultants. We also believe that any community (like a company) needs a ton of diversity and a very small number of things that bring us together.

Here are Our 5 Values

• Golden Rule: We try to practice the Golden Rule ("Do unto others..." and that sort of thing) by exercising reliability, trust and giving back to each other and our community.
• Success for All: We believe that success for our stakeholders—whether our teammates, clients or shareholders—comes with a sincere focus on continuous learning, selfless teaching and making a difference in each other’s lives.
• Child-like Joy: We aspire to experience child-like joy in our work and lives, injecting a spirit of passion, optimism and laughter into everything that we do.
• Shoshin: We believe in a beginner’s mind. Don’t surround yourself with people like you--diversity breeds creativity.
• Stay Thirsty, My Friends: We believe in a totally internally-driven strive for greatness. The solution is think more, not doing more.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Our Attitude: We’ve created a new industry from scratch, and we’re on the fast track!
• Our Leadership: We offer the leading tech solution for driving Customer Success.
• Our ROI: Reduce customer churn, increase up-sell, and improve customer satisfaction.
• Our Technology: Best in class software, Deep Salesforce.com hook, predictive analytics, and a beautiful user interface.
• Our Impact: We help our customers make millions of dollars more per year.
• Our Clients: Big companies like Linkedin, Tableau, Box, Adobe, Marketo, and many others.
• Our Team: Tech all-stars from Facebook, SFDC, and others (and top consulting firms like BCG and McKinsey!).
• Our Values: They are unique - Golden Rule, Success for All, Child-like Joy, Shoshin, and Stay Thirsty, My Friends.
