Pros

Fairly well paid. Decent benefits. Relatively good opportunities to move up.

Cons

Huge lack of transparency from senior leaderships. Changes sprung upon employees w/o notice. One minute we’re acquired by SAP, next minute being spun. No insider info shared. No info on employee equity. Everything shared with employees was shared publicly with press. Company is shockingly vertical. Lower level employees aren’t privileged/trusted with info about strategic company objectives. All decisions are made top-down. Opinions are not sought and actively ignored. Qualtrics cares only that employees are “happy” but doesn’t treat lower-level lower employees with respect, solicit their opinions, or consult them before making job-impacting changes. If you’re used to being at a company were anyone can schedule 30 minutes with a senior leader, flee! It’s NOT that way here. Lower level employees are not valued. Company focuses on sales quotas over perfecting product. Big sales bro culture. No diversity.

We appreciate you took time to share a review. Ensuring you take the time to attend our weekly all-hands may help with your feeling of being left out of key company updates, and may help with your overall experience. It sounds like - from your comments about job-impacting changes - that there may be value in having a conversation with your HRBP to cover your concerns. Our belief in gathering and actioning on feedback from the team is very strong and is part of why we run our quarterly and annual engagement surveys, and if you have further interest in how the feedback is put to work, you can absolutely put in time with the Chief People Officer who would be happy to share more.

Pros

Free lunch and that’s everything

Cons

* No company vision * Pay is mediocre * Lack of growth opportunities * HR is TRASH! You will not be heard nonetheless * Sales driven, which is fine, but that changes every decision the company makes * Lack of product direction mainly because management sucks!! They cannot even prepare a decent product strategy document for a given FY. They ask the L4-L7 levels to come with product goals that they think are important! As long as you produce a BS concept on AI for your product, you are a star, you don’t have to even deliver it! Success metrics are only for the papers, they don’t care if they’re generating any revenue from it!
