Pros

Qualtrics hires really smart, charismatic people that I generally loved working with - I made some close friendships I'll maintain for years to come. Benefits like the experience bonus and wellness reimbursement were great. For the most part, the work-life balance was manageable, as long as I wasn't working on X4 (Qualtrics' biggest event of the year).

Cons

Most of my cons come down to the quality of senior management. There was a lack of empowerment, trust and respect - despite hiring highly experienced people. People are asked to work on projects that were completely shut down or reprioritized once senior leaders got involved - including in efforts that leaders didn't need to be involved in. Lack of transparency, which led to a rampant, toxic rumor mill. Very office-centric culture; Qualtrics asks their employees to work from an office at least four days a week, and recently either let go of remote workers hired during the pandemic or is forcing people to move closer to an office.

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!
