Pros

Quick promotions in your first few years

Cons

Management has made drastic, frequent changes in a short period of time that has squashed the collaborative spirit of the company. Teams are siloed, metric-driven, and understaffed. Employees don't seem happy and there is the mantra that culture is our most important value, when in reality there is little emphasis or focus on maintaining and improving it.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you were quickly promoted - clearly you are doing great work. However, I am sorry you have been negatively impacted by recent changes in the customer organization. Your review echoes some of the feedback we got from the recent Voice of Medallia survey - many people felt that recent organizational changes did not go smoothly. The experience brought to light some flaws in our change management process, which we are actively working to fix. I am concerned that you feel like the collaborative nature of the company has been "squashed" and that teams are siloed and understaffed. To be honest, I don't feel the same way -- in fact, in the aforementioned Medallia survey, I was struck by how much people still love their colleagues, their customers, and the work they're doing. Despite all the changes, the core of who were are remains the same. However, I may be missing something. If you feel comfortable doing so, please come talk to me about what you're seeing. Finally, you said that there is little emphasis on culture - nothing could be further from the truth! As I say during onboarding, culture is everyone's responsibility. We all need to be accountable for maintaining the parts of the culture we want to keep, and fixing the parts we don't like -- especially as we grow. If you have any specific suggestions on how we can empower people to do this more effectively, please let me know! Thank you again for your feedback and for helping make us better.

Fake reviews - shows where the priorities truly are

Pros

Had some great coworkers! Lunches were great too.

Cons

Thought about leaving this alone, but so many reviews here are so clearly fake. Now that's not to say Medallia has positives, but the happy-go-lucky, nothing's wrong, this place is a rocketship type reviews are absolutely not indicative of anybody who really works here. Before you work here, reach out to a former employee on LinkedIn. Most anyone would be happy to talk about their Medallia experience.

Pros

- Somebody gave them some money - They still offer lunch twice a week - They now have enough bathrooms that it isn't often necessary to wait in line - You won't get fired for not doing your job, very few people in engineering have ever been fired -- this means if you want to rest and vest it's a great place to setup camp.

Cons

The architects to not listen to ANY OPINION except their own. The architects are also living in the dark ages throughout much of the stack. This has held and continues to hold the company back. The architects are treated as if they are in an ivory tower, and are untouchable, beholden to no one save themselves. I've even witnessed them into name calling and childish tantrums without reprimand. They don't do any heavy lifting themselves which further increases the disconnect between them and reality.
