15% of workforce laidoff. Sorry for those who are impacted. Let's share referrals!! Anyone from Qualtrics share how things are being handled? https://www.deseret.com/2023/10/4/23902759/qualtrics-layoffs-restructuring-ryan-smith-sap-silver-lake #layoff
And they’re hiring in LATAM.
Outsourcing at its finest. Are folks supposed to train their replacements to get severance?
They still have remote US openings right now too
Poorly, things are being handled very poorly...
how so? can you share more details?
Not at Qualtrics now but have close friends there. They sent out an early morning email saying you’ll be invited to a zoom meeting later. Depending on which meeting you join you’ll be laid off immediately, laid off in March 2024 and you need to train your replacement in a lcol area, or you’re safe. The meetings were booked a lot later so the whole company was in suspense for hours not knowing their fate
Anyone know the severance package?
10 weeks
Minimum 10 weeks, more based on tenure and level. Don’t know the details beyond that.
sucks! And they’re hiring in Latin Am!
A close friend getting axed this round, they do not have a blind account... any resource to help here🙏

I’ve been through lots of big layoffs and in every case it was repeatedly posted to blind (or similar pre-blind apps) and was called BS. On the upside, practically everyone that I worked with that was laid off ended up in better spots for them in the end.
The 15% is just the folks that got laid off today. Many others have a termination date of March 31. My whole team and the team next to mine fall into that category. The transition bonus is decent (25% of annual base salary plus severance if you stay through March 31). All that said I’ll be looking for the next opportunity ideally starting in April. Anyone have a remote friendly company with senior eng roles open (IC, 6.5 yoe)?
BTW gotta clarify treebanger is a Qualtrics joke. All the company all hands meetings end with “a three banger on three. One two three” and then everyone claps 3 times like literal elementary school children. So I’m not really a treebanger just love a good pun.
So sorry to hear. Which teams and roles are impacted?
