Help evaluating qualtrics offer
Offer details =L5 PM, yoe=10, 175k stocks over 4 years, base = 175k, sign on = 30k.
Don't go to Qualtrics. It is a 10 year old startup that doesnt value TPMs or PMs. The culture is that new grad engineers drive, design, and build the product and now we have a convoluted mess of a product that does a hundred things but none very well. I'd say Qualtrics is the most boring product I've ever seen.
Are you a PM or a Dev? Care to elaborate if the experience you described is specific to your team or all across the company?
Yeah I would be curious as well... with several hundred engineers unless you're pretty high up, it would be unlikely you could be making a statement like this with the proper context
I thought stocks are over 3 years.
Congratulations, how long did it take for them to get you an offer from the interview date?
1 week
Qualtrics is not a great place in terms of engineering. However, one can find a problem to solve instead of complaining. It has very good wlb, and TC in comparison to places like Amazon or MS. As for PM opportunities, there is a product, one can shape it if they have ideas. Sure it doesn’t have the scale of huge companies, but TC is everything. :)
my team has a huge mess of systems. over a year I rebuilt everything. it's much easier to maintain now. be the change you want
I'm L5, here's my take: Qualtrics has a high amount of broken stuff (products and processes), which is an opportunity if you're looking to impact the business. We could use good PMs, and we're hiring a bunch of them because management realizes that our broken processes are hurting the business. TC is competitive, WLB is good (this may vary by department), Seattle office has its own vibe that is geared toward engineering (you didn't specify location, but I'm assuming Seattle). Good luck making the right decision for you. 🍀
I’ve heard the PM is a relatively new discipline at Qualtrics and that there are not many of them. Is this true? Any good PM teams to consider?
Realize you are not likely to receive a raise or get equity refreshes until you are promoted which by rule takes 2-3 years
That’s not true at all. I’ve received several over the past 2-3 years.
Not true from what I’ve seen on my team 🤷♂️ What was your comp ratio during these raises? Most people hired externally end up with a company ratio >1 which makes getting a normal raise pretty hard
Why would you go there from Uber? My FB new grad offer wasn’t far off from this
FB new grad PM? Damn
I have never come across a new grad PM at FB.
