Pros

Great Culture, Good Intent people in the company. Passionate people driving change and really believe in the product.

Cons

Run away from working in the Systems Foundation Group. or Anyone under the Engineering Leadership in SSF. It will be detrimental to your career. Avoid the group. Tyrants and the style is influencing the entire Org. Engineers leave due to bad leadership style and lying about delivery.

I’m so sorry that your experience at Medallia did not turn out as you or we had hoped. Judging by your language (e.g., your use of the word “tyrants”), it sounds like you had a truly negative experience, which I deeply regret. As you know from working here, we are always trying to improve and it's important that people like you are willing to raise concerns. I do want to address a couple of your points specifically. In terms of people leaving because of bad leadership, we're actually not seeing that here at all. Quite the contrary, we have never recruited or retained more engineers than we do today. Next, it sounds like you are particularly concerned about the Systems Foundation team. With that group's new focus on delivering Medallia’s next-generation cloud platform there has been a lot of change and change can sometimes be hard. I've talked to the team and we are working to create a better internal communications process so that team members have more opportunities to be heard and voice concerns. Your encouragement to dig deep is a good one — as we get larger, we do need to try to stay as close are possible to people, something I'm personally very involved in. If you feel comfortable doing so, please feel free to reach out to me directly to share any additional concerns. And, most of all, best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

They take culture very seriously, going as far as rejecting very qualified candidates if they don't fit culturally. They really believe in their cultural tenants like Growth Mindset, Push for Great, Valuing Others. Moves fast with new challenges always popping up

Cons

No 401k contributions. Frequent re-orgs can leave some people in a position they weren't hired for

Pros

- Smart, motivated, and friendly people - Some good benefits (e.g. caltrain pass, 2 catered lunches) - No major competitors in the CEM space - Company continues to grow and will likely IPO soon

Cons

- Too much focus on people & culture and "growth mindset" - Poor work-life balance, especially if you are commuting to work - No 401k matching - Non-transferrable job skills for solutions analysts (i.e. working in Medallia's system all day) - No clear career path for solutions managers (i.e. very difficult to get promoted to senior manager)
