Pros

- Great people - Nice benefits - Good learning opportunities

Cons

-Not living up to values. Transparency is talked about but isn’t always practiced e.g. had a member of leadership who refused to confirm what performance rating I was put forward as during a performance review -Incredibly difficult to get a promotion there. A member of leadership openly talked about how difficult it is to get promoted at Qualtrics in a team meeting. Promotion should be incredibly easy to achieve when you’re consistently outperforming your targets...I was really surprised by this messaging - I was in the company for 23 months and 1 week at the point of a promotion cycle. Although consistently overachieving on targets quarter after quarter and having received an “exceeding expectations” in my 3 previous reviews, I was passed for promotion because the grade I would have been promoted to required that I needed to be in the company for at least 24 months. The company refused to put my performance ahead of process and forgo the 3 weeks I was short - at that point it was time to say bye to Qualtrics -When I joined the company, the job spec for my role required at least 7 years experience. At point of leaving, that was dropped back to 4 years experience which meant that people with less experience were being brought in at more senior positions. Incredibly disheartening and frustrating for that to happen when I couldn’t get a promotion because of being 3 weeks short on tenure but having consistently proven myself as an over performer in the role - other people were experiencing similar challenges and it made working there very toxic for morale.

Pros

Great benefits and resources available for their employees. In-office perks include catered lunches 3 days a week, 2 days with grub-hub credits, and free snacks and coffee daily; alongside office events and parties. There is a generally positive culture amongst the overall company.

Cons

Their actual company leadership does not always make the best decisions and rather than prioritizing root cause issues that impact both the customers and employees' daily work, they would rather prioritize shinier items that give the illusion of innovation. This will trickle down to the employees in the form of stressed deadlines, longer hours, and frustrated clients and/or frustrated teams you may work cross functionally with that are client facing. Your actual experience at qualtrics is largely based on what team/job function you are in and who your manager is. Additionally, there is a glaring diversity issue that remains unaddressed with no real effort to hire more underrepresented people of color, leading to the high turnover rate of underrepresented minorities who are not lucky enough to have great managers.
