      Pros

      -Free cafeteria-quality food in office (if you're standing in line early enough) -The company seems to be doing well

      Cons

      -Among the worst corporate culture in tech. From top to bottom, the Seattle office is filled with ex-Amazon managers. They brought over the toxic culture rewarding backstabbing engineers, management driven by short-term metrics, and abysmal work-life balance -Inexperienced people managers with no management aptitude -Experienced manager with no management aptitude (i.e. micromanaging directors)

      Pros

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

      Cons

      A lot of change can be frustrating at times, but necessary

      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!
