Pros

Senior management truly cares about employees. On a fantastic trajectory. Opportunities for growth. Great products. Fantastic benefits.

Cons

Pay raises were previously tied solely to promotions. This created a culture of promotion-obsession with side effects of looking out for yourself at the expense of working together as a team. Recent changes in pay/equity/promotions should help reverse this trend. Time off allotment is too small for starting employees - makes it hard to transition when more mature in a career. Working from home is discouraged, which is unfortunate since many people are very effective when telecommuting.

Pros

From what I can tell, Qualtrics is generally following industry standards for tooling & processes, which makes you a competitive candidate for other companies. Standard tech perks in office & supports home/work balance.

Cons

Lacking senior leadership (haven't had a CTO in a long time) and prioritization is a mess - product & sales teams are constantly overselling, leads to us creating half baked products that go straight to top customers, etc. Not a lot of support from my management to change roles / move to another org; currently not promoting or hiring at all making promotions ultra competitive. The company also recently changed the ratings scale, screwing lots of people over.
