Pros

Great benefits (401K, good insurance options, vision/dental, wellness benefit, experience bonus), great coworkers

Cons

top-down management is awful at the executive level. October 2023 layoffs have created massive holes in company with no concrete plans to resolve. Company does not support remote work and promotion opportunities are bleak nowadays. Also underpays compared to other SaaS companies

Qualtrics Response
1y
We appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few things, and we hope that folks will give this some consideration: 1. Qualtrics is going through a transformational time -- which, while exciting, comes with some change. 2. Employee feedback is an important part of us understanding our health as an organization. It’s because of that feedback that we can see the team feels improvements in things like our internal processes and communications, while also still seeing areas of opportunity in the speed of roll-outs for changes and other areas. We report on the progress every quarter and will continue to do so. 3. And finally, we aren’t a remote-first company; that’s fair. However, we do have a 2 week remote work policy, as well as support the flexibility folks need within our office attendance policies.

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.
