      Growing Pains Minefield - Software Engineer Qualtrics Employee Review

      Pros

      - Fast growth means lots of room for career development - Reasonably good pay, great benefits and PTO - Lots of brilliant coworkers - Opportunities (sometimes involuntary) to wear a lot of hats - Post-startup culture means lots of flexibility... sometimes.

      Cons

      - Growing pains means lots of overcommitment on the part of management, paid off by "encouraged" unpaid overtime - Lots of junior hires without many mid-senior hires makes for nonexistent mentorship and a lot of terrible design/practice - Delivery and sales always prioritized over quality, operational integrity, or design - Heavy, pervasive culture of guilting and shaming of devs by management. You will be asked if you are a team player frequently, and rarely referred to as one.

      Pros

      Enjoy the changes silver lake has made. We are getting more efficient and back to what Qualtrics is really good at.

      Cons

      A lot of change can be frustrating at times, but necessary

      Pros

      Fantastic people work there and it's a good place to start your career. The workplace perks are decent, there are snacks and lunches provided at the office. There are also good accommodations for mental health, religious observances, and nursing mothers.

      Cons

      The company pivoted to "business need" as a reason for promo. Promotions are now seemingly few and far between despite higher level individuals leaving. Recent restructuring has left those still working at the company with less time to do actual client work and more time being spent documenting the work done. ELT doesn't seem to actually listen and instead performs listening theatre.
