Pros

Lovely people work here. Genuine feeling of home. Made some lifelong friends. Product has upside. SAP backing has upside. The leadership was slow to come around to it but they did give us 1x/mo as the hybrid working requirement. Overall the pay is good and managers care for your well being.

Cons

This company is really a brilliant show of how important branding is. What we do is not revolutionary. The products we deliver can be great but also they can be scrappy. Pre-IPO leadership are dropping like flies. Lots of ex Amazon leaders here still have Amazon habits. Still, there is a conspicuous lack of female representation in engineering leadership. Company is growing rapidly and the culture just isn't the same as it was pre SAP. Maybe that has to do more with the pandemic. This place can be a feature factory at times but if you accept that is the business model then you can ride the wave a bit more easily.

Pros

Great benefits and resources available for their employees. In-office perks include catered lunches 3 days a week, 2 days with grub-hub credits, and free snacks and coffee daily; alongside office events and parties. There is a generally positive culture amongst the overall company.

Cons

Their actual company leadership does not always make the best decisions and rather than prioritizing root cause issues that impact both the customers and employees' daily work, they would rather prioritize shinier items that give the illusion of innovation. This will trickle down to the employees in the form of stressed deadlines, longer hours, and frustrated clients and/or frustrated teams you may work cross functionally with that are client facing. Your actual experience at qualtrics is largely based on what team/job function you are in and who your manager is. Additionally, there is a glaring diversity issue that remains unaddressed with no real effort to hire more underrepresented people of color, leading to the high turnover rate of underrepresented minorities who are not lucky enough to have great managers.
