Pros

Great people (although many of them have been laid off or left). Some fun benefits. Several years ago when I joined, it felt like the company really cared about its employees. I’ve heard if you’re on the right team (one that’s appropriately valued) it can be positive.

Cons

A little before they were acquired by SilverLake in June 2023, things went downhill internally. Felt like they tried to squeeze every penny out of their employees. A lot more work in every area with no additional compensation and not promoting people (a month after being laid off I’m making significantly more at a different company, doing the same thing for way less accounts). Management’s inability to listen (starting with skip level manager and up to company management) was shocking. Lots of burn out. Many people were happy to be in the lay-off group and many were sad they weren’t. Somehow the company manages to attract amazing people, so I genuinely hope they’re able to turn things around and rebuild. Really grateful for everything I learned at Q and wish them the best!

Pros

Great benefits and resources available for their employees. In-office perks include catered lunches 3 days a week, 2 days with grub-hub credits, and free snacks and coffee daily; alongside office events and parties. There is a generally positive culture amongst the overall company.

Cons

Their actual company leadership does not always make the best decisions and rather than prioritizing root cause issues that impact both the customers and employees' daily work, they would rather prioritize shinier items that give the illusion of innovation. This will trickle down to the employees in the form of stressed deadlines, longer hours, and frustrated clients and/or frustrated teams you may work cross functionally with that are client facing. Your actual experience at qualtrics is largely based on what team/job function you are in and who your manager is. Additionally, there is a glaring diversity issue that remains unaddressed with no real effort to hire more underrepresented people of color, leading to the high turnover rate of underrepresented minorities who are not lucky enough to have great managers.
