Anyone heard of Qualtrics? It's a software company recently purchased by SAP. They are hiring in Seattle and I've been wanting to move to Seattle. Let me know what you guys heard about Qualtrics? Any idea about the salaries there?
Im an l4 and TC is around 190-220k. The product sucks. In my job search, I didn't think I cared about the product as long as the software challenges were interesting and pay was good but I was wrong. Imagine coming to work and dealing with so much complexity over writing software for a smartfridge or digital photo frame. It eats you up and you question why it's so needlessly complex. Qualtrics does surveys to gather customer feedback. It's not a tech company at heart.
Yeah over engineering culture is an issue
@BuiltToSex I didn’t know there is a skeptical person at Q. But it seems there is. To me, it seemed like everybody feels good about Q. Especially those who were at Amazon before. I also thought that TC is the only thing I care. But after seeing Q eng culture, I realized that TC is not everything if you give a shit to future career. The reason why systems are over engineered is that a lot of senior and junior folks read and implement chapters from design patterns books, or Martin Fowler articles, thinking this is cool (but not thinking if this is the only best solution).
Qualtrics is the real deal. Pay is great. Tech is amazing. If you get past the interviewing process you will take the job. Reading the other posts on there make me believe these other members did not make it through the interviewing process. Don't get mad if you don't get in as Qualtrics only accepts 2% of all applicants, making sure they bring on the best talent.
Best talent my ass. Everyone here is a new grad with no experience in standard procedures and best practices in software development. Shit ton of issues last week due to "patching" which amounts to no structured plan or coordination in place to bring down app servers but making sure everything still works. Q is a b2b software company. We make surveys. Lots of smart people here but no guidance on how to write good software.
@MDqE75 LOL. Not sure in which Q you are. When I have been there I didn’t see amazing tech. I guess you have never seen amazing tech before. It is not hard to get through interviewing process there. But anyways, I am ok with you continue drinking kool aid. :))))
Qualtrics needs engineering to integrate with SAP. The company has a great vision but some of the product is messy. The sales messaging is ahead of the product.

Qualtrics did a contract with my university for like student surveys or something. Think survey monkey, but less sexy. Idk if they do anything else. No idea what they pay.
They could totally put that on their recruiting site, "like survey monkey but less sexy"
