Pros

Medallia remains a recognizable name in the customer experience space with a solid core product and a talented workforce. Many colleagues are highly skilled and dedicated, and there are opportunities to work with leading enterprise clients. Compensation and work flexibility have historically been competitive, and the mission around improving customer experiences continues to resonate with many employees.

Cons

The company has experienced significant leadership turnover, including four CEOs in four years and frequent changes in sales leadership. Since the Clarabridge executive took over, the expected improvements have not fully materialized. Sales and renewal rates remain challenged, and the pricing of many legacy accounts—set in a different market environment—has made competition tougher as the industry matures. This has contributed to ongoing organizational change, uncertainty in strategy, and a noticeable level of anxiety within teams. Employee morale has been impacted, and the constant shifts make it difficult to build long-term plans or feel stable in the company’s direction.

Pros

Flexible time off, inclusive culture, autonomy in role, great pay and benefits

Cons

Not a lot of opportunity for growth on a small consulting team. Time sheet process was atrocious but perhaps it’s improved since I left.
