Pros

I genuinely believe Qualtrics is a special place. Like yeah, we've got the cool perks like yummy catered food, a cool office space with an unreal rooftop view, great benefits with competitive salaries, and an HR team who consistently solicits feedback on how to keep employees happy. But the real reason I love Qualtrics is that we're in this really exciting spot where the company is doing fantastically from a business side, which allows us to heavily invest in bringing in talented technical folks from various other businesses, creating a dynamic and deep developer team. The more we hire good, high-quality engineers with experience growing and scaling fast-moving companies, the better we've been getting. On a personal note, Qualtrics has afforded me incredible opportunities for early career growth (I'm leading a team here, and it's my first real job!), and I think that the leadership does a great job giving opportunities to people at the org who show potential to be high-impact employees

Cons

We've historically built certain things quickly to hit business deadlines, which resulted in us shipping poorly architected and low-quality code for some features. We're definitely improving our development process across the board, but we've still got a significant amount of tech debt that we need to continue to pay down with best practices. Lastly, we have a problem with people scale; there's just so much to do and not enough employees to reasonably do it all. Let's keep hiring great people!

Love this review! So insightful and helpful for us to impact change in the company! I would love to get more information from you on the ideas to hire top talent and opportunities for internal folks. In recruiting, we are working on rolling out a new referral program and a QMobility 2,0 program. In Russ's org he has planned to start quarterly pulsing and to have all managers trained in our leadership standards in 1H 2019. Again... thank you for the feedback and the specific advice. We take this to seriously to continually evolve our company to be better for our employees and customers! Hopefully, you are seeing the change! Feel free to reach out with additional insight and THANK YOU for the review!

Pros

* Great rank and file people who genuinely make it a pleasant place to work * Lots of opportunity to have an impact on the product and infrastructure * Great career advancement opportunities for junior engineers

Cons

* Bait and switch tactics are common in hiring (you've been warned!) * Company values are preached but not practiced (e.g. transparency, diversity, etc.) * Very reactive management and planning style (e.g. only care and act if something is on fire) * Below market compensation and no annual compensation review * Time vested RSUs are clawed back either immediately or after three years (depending on contract) should you leave
