Pros

Many friendly and creative coworkers. Generous pay and benefits although this is cutting back for new hires.

Cons

Actively hostile management practice since they were bought by private equity. Company morale hasn't recovered from the 20% layoffs, hundreds of jobs are being off-shored for cheap labor or being replaced by AI, and almost anyone with more than 5 years there has left. Everyone still there is either trapped due to immigration, cashing the checks until the next layoffs, or actively interviewing. Minimal opportunity for promotion, Amazon-style stack ranking performance assessment, and inflexible RTO policy based on distrust. You could fill an MBA case study with every mistake that was made by management over the past year.

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.
