Qualtrics Sr. Software Engineer reviews

Low vacation days and no rollover of either vacation or sick days. Only way to get salary increment is through promotion which is hard if you are already in a senior position. There is a quarterly bonus but that's based on your base salary so if base doesn't grow you cannot grow your income.

* While they want quality software, they often don't invest in the development infrastructure necessary for it to happen * The fast pace and high pressure tends to burns out engineers * The vast majority of engineers are just starting out in their careers, they could use some more experienced people * Management doesn't really know what to do with senior-level individual contributors * Good work can be unappreciated when it's not on sexy stuff * Having each dev team be responsible for their services running in production encourages the building of robust software, but when a small team has to babysit hundreds of servers day and night, development falls behind * Engineers often work evenings and weekends to meet goals (usually from home) * Being on-call is sometimes brutal. It's no fun getting awakened in the middle of the night because a disk somewhere is more than 80% full.
