Only thing that keeps me here is the pay

Mid-market account executive

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and Benefits are nice

Cons

Toxic work environment, we are SAP puppets, most of the people on my team are on SSRIs to cope with the stress, treated like kings if we hit our number and garbage if we do not. Work/ life balance is non-existent.

Unethical compensation team

Sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast promotions and great technology

Cons

The compensation team is amongst the most shady characters. The team consistently refuses to accurately pay its sales people and actively fights to lower sales pay when it is already lower than market. Qualtrics hires great people but this department has FAILED to do its job ethically.

We can only imagine what you must be feeling if you feel you have been wronged in this way. It would be beneficial to all if you could share your situation internally with your manager or HRBP. We would love the opportunity to assess the situation to see if there is something we need to address. We do value honest feedback and transparency and understand you are sharing your perspective, however, we do not support the slander of an entire team. Integrity is a cornerstone of how the Qualtrics team operates and the Compensation Team is made up of people who absolutely meet our standard.
