Pros

Fast promotion and huge opportunities because of their growth are the biggest and best pro's in Qualtrics. If you want to go fast (and alone), apply here. There are possibilities to go far and together but the fast-paced environment in this company is more suited for an ambitious lonely wolf.

Cons

Strict in guidelines and targets which can make it hard to get non-core related activities and achievements acknowledged. Plus, the competition can be fierce, which might seem as a con for some.

Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate you pointing out the promotion piece, as that is important to us. Over 1/3 of the company was promoted last cycle, and we are proud of the growth of our employees. We are consistently driving better internal usage of our platform in order to raise the bar on our Employee Experience and are committed to continuous improvement.

Pros

From what I can tell, Qualtrics is generally following industry standards for tooling & processes, which makes you a competitive candidate for other companies. Standard tech perks in office & supports home/work balance.

Cons

Lacking senior leadership (haven't had a CTO in a long time) and prioritization is a mess - product & sales teams are constantly overselling, leads to us creating half baked products that go straight to top customers, etc. Not a lot of support from my management to change roles / move to another org; currently not promoting or hiring at all making promotions ultra competitive. The company also recently changed the ratings scale, screwing lots of people over.
