Pros

Qualtrics was my dream job, and for the first couple years it was nothing but good. Solid career growth, great trajectory as a company, and engaged leadership. Have gotten a ton of good experience and some of the middle management is still quite decent. Great benefits, decent pay for Utah area, lots of fantastic food.

Cons

- Zig and Ryan are grossly overpaid (look up highest paid CEOs in 2021) and no one connects to Zig or frankly any of the senior leadership. Company-wide meetings make me want to vomit. - Lots of the company culture has become robotic and overly political - In 3 years we have been bought privately by SAP, spun out public, and bought privately again by Silverlake. - In 3 years we have gone from in-office, to fully remote, to hybrid, to 4 days in office. Lots of whiplash, no reason for it besides remote for covid. - It's just sadly not the special place it once was. Going public really took the fun out of it for those of us who aren't billionaires.

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!
