Pros

Fun offices, free food, cool coworkers

Cons

Despite all of the big bets about increasing gender equity, etc., Qualtrics is the most sexist company I ever worked for. Just some examples: 1. Look at the senior leadership team. Most of the time, very little representation of women at the highest levels, and when there is, it’s usually in people ops or training/enablement. 2. I know for a fact that at least one male coworker who had less experience than I did started at the same time at a notably higher salary than me or my other female counterparts. 3. At one point, I learned that no woman on my team had ever gone on maternity leave and been allowed to come back to her same book of business, and only one had even been enabled to come back to her same role. Nobody ever thought to create a coverage plan policy to help avoid this. 4. Managers actively discourage men from taking their fully allotted paid parental leave. 5. The ratings system and policies mean that women who go on maternity leave are set back as much as a year when it comes to promotion opportunities, even though they are often only gone for 12 weeks. Any equity in representation seems to devolve to tokenism and making numbers look good. I am sure that much of this inequity comes down to unconscious bias stemming from the LDS roots.

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!
