Pros

The vision of experience management is inspiring. Some departments are high performing.

Cons

It's disappointing that Qualtrics continues to have honest reviews about the state of the customer success department removed from Glassdoor. CS leadership does not keep their promises or meet their own deadlines. The volume of work required for CSMs continues to rise while every promise made to ensure that the workload is manageable has fallen through. We are constantly being asked to do more with rapidly disappearing resources. Our autonomy is being drastically limited. Most of us are actively looking for new roles, including recent hires. Qualtrics is a very sales-dominated organization. The vision of the possible is prioritized over reality. The solution is constantly being repackaged and repositioned to hide the fact that we are selling very basic software. Our positioning is so convoluted at this point that Forrester couldn't figure out what we actually offer. If you enjoy a lack of autonomy, lack of resources, and monumentally low employee morale (we significantly underperform compared to our own employee experience benchmarks) then Qualtrics is the place for you.

While we may not like every review left, we recognize that they're left by an individual reflecting on their own experience. That said, employers cannot remove reviews. Employers can request that Glassdoor audit any reviews that contain things such as a gross violation of insider information policies, trolling, or personally identifiable information for example, but those requests are strictly limited and only Glassdoor can remove a review that is in violation.

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.
