Pros

Many friendly and creative coworkers. Generous pay and benefits although this is cutting back for new hires.

Cons

Actively hostile management practice since they were bought by private equity. Company morale hasn't recovered from the 20% layoffs, hundreds of jobs are being off-shored for cheap labor or being replaced by AI, and almost anyone with more than 5 years there has left. Everyone still there is either trapped due to immigration, cashing the checks until the next layoffs, or actively interviewing. Minimal opportunity for promotion, Amazon-style stack ranking performance assessment, and inflexible RTO policy based on distrust. You could fill an MBA case study with every mistake that was made by management over the past year.

Enjoy the changes silver lake has made. We are getting more efficient and back to what Qualtrics is really good at.

A lot of change can be frustrating at times, but necessary

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!
