Business Outlook

Pros

- Great product and industry knowledge. Qualtrics is poised to continue to grow and play a huge part in the information space over the next 10 years. - Compensation, Benefits, 401(k) matching all are up to industry standards. - Descent opportunity for growth. You can probably consistently progress without a graduate degree for five or six years before you run into a brick wall. Which is pretty standard. - Standard tech perks like free food, foosball tables, company parties, swag etc. - At least in my role, generally in control of your work / life balance. You can work 80 weeks if you want, but there is no reason you can't succeed 8 to 5.

Cons

- The yearly conference that Qualtrics hosts can get a little out of hand. Mid-level managers don't sleep for a week or two in order to get everything done. As you can imagine that makes life fun for everyone. Despite having done this at scale for 4 or 5 years now, we can't seem to get it done without some serious fatigue. - Cross departmental communication about product updates can be frustrating. Code push cadence is unclear and while major changes are announced, lots of little "surprises" show up that can make sales, support, and operations scramble. - Increasingly bloated C-level. CEO and COO have a combined 20 direct reports. - The above is indicative of a manager culture that from the top-down discourages delegation and can have a tendency to encourage micromanagement. - C-level is increasingly vocal in partisian political causes.
