Pros

- Good work life balance (virtually never working >40 hours/week) - Very competitive total compensation - At the team and department level, everyone is great

Cons

- Management is focused on cutting costs and offshoring every job possible, rather than actually trying to improve the product - Communication from senior leadership is non-existant and completely out of touch with employees - Multiple rounds of layoffs affecting top performers - Most employees are checked out after the recent private equity purchase and subsequent gutting of the company - Just announced changes that would vastly reduce the number of promotions for employees, even if they are performing well

Enjoy the changes silver lake has made. We are getting more efficient and back to what Qualtrics is really good at.

A lot of change can be frustrating at times, but necessary

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!
