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

Nothing much to say here. Management is messed up. All tech initiatives are showcase only. There are genuinely smart people, but they are managed by worse management you can imagine.

Cons

- many bad CEOs, many bad managers. - the whole company is slow. - no one know what the company’s mission statement is. - PE firms have no idea what they are doing.
