Pros

- Good work life balance (virtually never working >40 hours/week) - Very competitive total compensation - At the team and department level, everyone is great

Cons

- Management is focused on cutting costs and offshoring every job possible, rather than actually trying to improve the product - Communication from senior leadership is non-existant and completely out of touch with employees - Multiple rounds of layoffs affecting top performers - Most employees are checked out after the recent private equity purchase and subsequent gutting of the company - Just announced changes that would vastly reduce the number of promotions for employees, even if they are performing well

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.
