Pros

Great people to work with. Most managers really care about their teams.

Cons

Senior management at the company level have ruined the company from the top down. It is a shell of what it once was. Qualtrics is the “leader” in experience management, but they do not believe or practice it internally. This may sound bitter or resentful, but it is the truth. There is no meaningful action or accountability taken from the top and they’re paid extravagantly. The once great culture at Qualtrics is gone and dead. Within Engineering, the leaders who built the org are all gone, and the new leaders are off to a rocky start. They are outsourcing many engineering jobs to cheaper offices outside of the US.

Pros

Great benefits and resources available for their employees. In-office perks include catered lunches 3 days a week, 2 days with grub-hub credits, and free snacks and coffee daily; alongside office events and parties. There is a generally positive culture amongst the overall company.

Cons

Their actual company leadership does not always make the best decisions and rather than prioritizing root cause issues that impact both the customers and employees' daily work, they would rather prioritize shinier items that give the illusion of innovation. This will trickle down to the employees in the form of stressed deadlines, longer hours, and frustrated clients and/or frustrated teams you may work cross functionally with that are client facing. Your actual experience at qualtrics is largely based on what team/job function you are in and who your manager is. Additionally, there is a glaring diversity issue that remains unaddressed with no real effort to hire more underrepresented people of color, leading to the high turnover rate of underrepresented minorities who are not lucky enough to have great managers.
