Pros

* Great colleagues: the people at Qualtrics are genuinely kind, collaborative, and fun to work with * Good work-life balance: flexible working hours and respect for personal time are the norm * Strong benefits package: competitive perks that make a real difference day-to-day

Cons

* Career growth is virtually non-existent: promotions are extremely rare, and even when deserved, they are nearly impossible to obtain * Salaries are stagnant: raises are minimal, and you can expect to stay at your starting salary for years * Bonuses are shrinking and may disappear entirely, despite being officially listed as part of the compensation package * Engineering teams are in a state of stagnation: technical growth and development are rarely recognized or encouraged by the organization

Enjoy the changes silver lake has made. We are getting more efficient and back to what Qualtrics is really good at.

Pros

Free lunch and that’s everything

Cons

* No company vision * Pay is mediocre * Lack of growth opportunities * HR is TRASH! You will not be heard nonetheless * Sales driven, which is fine, but that changes every decision the company makes * Lack of product direction mainly because management sucks!! They cannot even prepare a decent product strategy document for a given FY. They ask the L4-L7 levels to come with product goals that they think are important! As long as you produce a BS concept on AI for your product, you are a star, you don’t have to even deliver it! Success metrics are only for the papers, they don’t care if they’re generating any revenue from it!
