Cons

My time at Qualtrics was marked by a significant lack of growth opportunities. Promotions appeared to favor a select group of employees, and if you weren’t part of the "right" group, chances are, advancement would pass you by. It felt like the promotion system was more about who you knew or who you were close to, rather than actual performance or merit. Feedback was a rare commodity, even when actively requested. Despite asking for guidance to improve, it felt like feedback was withheld or given in vague, unhelpful terms. On top of that, toxic positivity ran rampant, with the company pushing an unrealistic, overly optimistic narrative that made it hard to address real issues or challenges. It’s ironic for a company that prides itself on gathering and acting on employee feedback—because, in reality, they don’t actually listen to it. The leadership team often made promises about product features and improvements that never came to fruition, creating challenges in supporting clients and making the job even harder. Role expectations were also in constant flux, and responsibilities were often shifted or combined in ways that didn’t align with what people were hired to do. Additionally, the company’s culture is heavily influenced by Mormon principles, which adds another layer of complexity to the work environment. Senior leadership is disconnected from the day-to-day reality, and there’s little accountability for the decisions that directly impact employees. The work environment can feel like a toxic mix of favoritism and a lack of support, where only a certain group of people seem to get the recognition and opportunities they deserve. The company made the decision to bring employees back into the office, but the Chicago office is not equipped to handle it. There’s not enough space for the teams on their assigned days, and the office is incredibly loud, making it hard to focus or get work done. On top of that, if you express any dissatisfaction or frustration, the senior leadership team has referred to us as "free agents," suggesting that if we’re unhappy, we have the option to leave. This approach only highlights the disconnect between leadership and employees, making it feel like our concerns are dismissed rather than addressed. If you're considering working here, I strongly recommend paying attention to the most upvoted and recent reviews. Many of the positive reviews seem to be written in response to negative feedback, which may be an attempt to cover up the company’s deeper issues.

Pros

My immediate team was great to work with -- both collaborative and supportive.

Cons

For a feedback company, they are abysmal at providing feedback to employees. I requested feedback multiple times, and then asked for feedback on why team members with less tenure than myself were promoted before me. I was never given an answer as to why this was. However, from observation, I conclude that individuals that check off certain demographic boxes are more likely to find success here. If you are a POC, strongly reconsider your choice to work here.
