Pros

Smart and capable coworkers and a decent salary.

Cons

A lot of poorly designed processes meant to give developers freedom but just tend to make things more difficult. A promotion system that largely rewards overtime. A poor and cheap corporate culture. Gutless leadership that just follows other tech companies. Lots of internal tension between the conservatives in the Utah office and the liberals in the Washington office.

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.
