Qualtrics reviews

Waaaay oversell roles. If you get an offer, make sure you know EXACTLY what your role is. Managers are ex-consultants. They're smart people (not as smart as they think they are), but they aren't people leaders. They are great individual contributors who think they know how to lead. No yearly raises. You read that right - NO YEARLY RAISES - Not even to keep up with cost of living. You should assume whatever role you come into you are going to keep that salary for several years. The only way you get increased compensation is to promote, and there are set timelines around promotion - it doesn't matter what you do, only how long you have been in role. Comp and benefits are pretty decent for Utah, but they don't compete with outside of Utah offers. One person makes a huge difference in your hiring and promotion. If you have a champion here you'll get pushed forward very quickly. If you don't, or the executive over your branch doesn't love you, prepare to be in for the long haul. There's a lot of focus on things that don't drive results (if you organize a team outing, or have a focus group on emergent issues etc). If you are willing to smile and be "customer obsessed" and "scrappy" Read: Panic when something goes wrong. Then you do well. You advance much faster externally than you will internally. For example, if you want to be a manager (lvl 5 - ask about levels when you come in, that's what matters, not job title) the best route is to do 3 years at another company, then an MBA (or 2-3 years at one of their chosen companies) then come in as a manager. You will NEVER get there in that amount of time working your way up. If you're looking for a job right out of college, this is a good one. Come in, get 3 years of experience under your belt, but DEFINITELY leave after that. There is only ONE non-sales manager who has been promoted to that level internally. Leverage the quick start they give you into a top tier MBA or a management role within another company.

CEO is a joke, and mistreats his employees Definitely thinks he's the best thing to happen in tech, but in reality he's a front man for the real brains behind the business who didn't want to be the face of Qualtrics. Met him multiple times, went to his house, won competitions which granted me an audience with him, and even shared multiple projects with him. Despite all our interactions, he still introduced himself to me each time as if we'd never met. Not an isolated scenario - happens to most people who work with him. Self-absorbed, and clueless man. Opportunities are almost zero. Even when you get promoted (if you can), your book of business does not change like they promise - only your quota. Very cutthroat culture Very disjointed departments, lack of communication, and hard to get anything done internally. Other departments will often kill good deals due to incompetence. Management lies to show more positive numbers to their investors, clients, employees, and public. Sub 16% of reps actually hit their quotas each quarter. They are actively firing reps, because they over-hired for a product that is misplaced in the market and has no realistic quantifiable value impact for customers. They still need to show growth for their investors in order to IPO, so they'll still hire college kids to throw into the meat grinder, but you'll notice they've slowed their hiring for the Provo office. Product sucks - SurveyMonkey and other products have caught up to it, and are far cheaper. Management uses scare tactics to keep their employees. They parade around companies nearby who have failed to let people know the grass is not greener. When people leave for better jobs, they slander them - even their best employees. Definitely not how a company should operate. Heavy politics. If you're not Mormon, in "the boys club," or suck up to your boss, you won't get ahead. Recruiters lie to candidates. The money potential and opportunities are not actually there. You could be the smartest, hardest, best sales person out there - but unless you're part of the aforementioned, you will only spin your wheels.
