If You're Smart, Go Make Money and Real Opportunities Elsewhere - Anonymous employee Qualtrics Employee Review

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.
