Serious Sexism Problem

Pros

Fun offices, free food, cool coworkers

Cons

Despite all of the big bets about increasing gender equity, etc., Qualtrics is the most sexist company I ever worked for. Just some examples: 1. Look at the senior leadership team. Most of the time, very little representation of women at the highest levels, and when there is, it’s usually in people ops or training/enablement. 2. I know for a fact that at least one male coworker who had less experience than I did started at the same time at a notably higher salary than me or my other female counterparts. 3. At one point, I learned that no woman on my team had ever gone on maternity leave and been allowed to come back to her same book of business, and only one had even been enabled to come back to her same role. Nobody ever thought to create a coverage plan policy to help avoid this. 4. Managers actively discourage men from taking their fully allotted paid parental leave. 5. The ratings system and policies mean that women who go on maternity leave are set back as much as a year when it comes to promotion opportunities, even though they are often only gone for 12 weeks. Any equity in representation seems to devolve to tokenism and making numbers look good. I am sure that much of this inequity comes down to unconscious bias stemming from the LDS roots.

Pros

Until they were bought by a private equity company in the summer and recently laid off 15% of the workforce and told another 10% that they would be replaced by low cost workers in Mexico City in March, I can say without a doubt that Qualtrics was a company with incredibly talented, kind, and amazing people. I met and worked with some of the most wonderful people at Qualtrics.

Cons

Leadership: Where to start. First, the leadership is an absolute abomination. Other than a couple with Microsoft experience, the rest are inexperienced outside of Qualtrics. They do NOT value diverse perspectives, and if you push back you are silenced. Diversity: All of the President level and all of their direct reports are men. The majority are white, Mormon men. Women have no seat at any table. And it's worse for people of color. Valuing the function of PMM: From the top leader on down, there is no understanding or value of the function of PMM. They think PMM makes slides and have reorged in a way that anybody with a heartbeat is put into PMM. Some of the people are brilliant in their own area whether that's Solution Strategy or Industry, but simply assigning someone "you're now a PMM" when they have no certifications from Pragmatic Marketing and no experience truly doing inbound and outbound PMM is just absurdity. It's truly heart-broken to see the trajectory this company has made. The laid off people are the lucky ones.
