Mediocre company at best, steer clear

Pros

Massive sales machine. Open office concept. Relatively flat hierarchy, but absentee leadership. Take your dog and kids to work if you want. Most of my coworkers were pretty decent people.

Cons

Employees are disposable means to an end for this company. Every other company i've worked for treats it's employees better than Qualtrics. The main reason I left. I've worked for a handful of tech companies, and the culture at Qualtrics is terrible. Political and definitely not merit-based. Sales is slightly different because it's easy to measure performance, but problems are widespread everywhere else. Products are the buggiest I've sold. Company hired a lot of engineers recently, so the problem will get worse then will probably get better if they know what they're doing. The culture probably seems so terrible because leadership tries to make such a big deal about how good the culture is, while everyone is so tired of it. There are three types of employees at Qualtrics: the 8-10 who will make good $ from the IPO, 90% who are demoralized but can't leave because if they do they lose all their equity, and the smart ones who are walking out the door. Almost everyone I knew at Qualtrics was tired and hoping to leave asap. Save yourself the trouble. Also, I agree with the guy who wrote about the fake reviews - it's simple to see which reviews are real and those that are fake.

Pros

Company hangs its hat on providing food during company meetings. You can also pay $2 on Tuesdays to get lunch. You can also fatten yourself on all the candy that floats around the place. 3 treadmill desks. 7-8 massage chairs, 4 are in working condition. That's about it.

Cons

- Like everyone else on Glassdoor says, the pay is terrible. Stagnant. - IPO is always "around the corner" but never happens, and you can't take stock units with you if you leave. You're stuck - Leadership is in an ivory tower. Definitely a boy's club feel. Good 'ol boys. - Male dominated - No employee is worth anything unless you're in the Sales org - Culture is "so important" but only to outsiders; on the inside it has nothing to do with the company MO

Pros

Incredible Executive Leadership. This is a great place to sharpen your skills as a young professional.

Cons

Few. Mainly the lack of recruiting outside of the area. They are doing a better job, but it's difficult to have diversity when hiring from the surrounding university of students who all grew up in the area.
