Pros

Good pay for the Kraków metropolitan area, including benefits you rarely see elsewhere (examples include 7000 PLN experience bonus, which is usually used to fund a vacation; 3200 yearly for wellness items, such as sports equipment). The personnel in the Kraków office is young and easy to talk to. The atmosphere in the office is relaxed.

Cons

It is embarassing that a company responsible for, among other things, improving the employee experience cannot deal with terrible reasons related to trust in the senior leadership (which has continued for multiple quarters). There is a disconnect between leadership and engineering, especially given that actual technical executes have mostly been pushed out or quit. There seems to be an attempt to offload responsibility onto managers, who are mostly just good people (who actually get good results in the quarterly employee experience surveys). Another minus is that this is a company whose main product is a web application, which requires around-the-clock uptime globally. As such, each engineering team has a mandatory on-call rotation, which is always going to be a minus for work-life balance.

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.
