Good until it was horrible - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Qualtrics

Where to start? When I first got to Qualtrics, my manager was great. Then he left. Then you started seeing other managers leaving. They must have seen the writing on the wall before the company hit us with huge layoffs and sending our jobs to other countries. This is and will be a different company over the next few years. There may be additional layoffs and benefit cuts. The PE firm is obviously keen on cutting costs at all costs. I happened to be part of a group that was having my job outsourced. They offered us a bonus and severance to stay at the company to help transition our jobs to employees in foreign countries. Then, they changed the terms of what they had originally offered. They waited multiple days to send us a contract with terms that were different from what we were originally told and with lower severance. Middle management and your colleagues are great, although I expect this will change with expected high attrition rates. Leadership likely needs to be changed for anything positive to happen here. The promotion cycle is horrible. They used to do it twice a year and they are now changing it to once a year. This will make it more competitive and harder to get promoted. Typically unless you're doing A LOT of extra initiatives on top of your current job you won't even be considered for promotion and even then, I was turned down for being a top performer.
