Pros

Qualtrics is easily one of the best office environments in Provo. The office sits at the base of the mountains providing for a beautiful location and includes just about every fancy tech-company amenity you can think of. At the time of me writing this, we get free lunches, free snacks and drinks, and there's plenty of activities sprinkled throughout the office (Video Games, Ping Pong, Massage Chairs). The garden in the back is another amazing feature and is great for walks and time in nature. It's amazing how much the office increases the quality-of-life feeling. Personally, my hours are really good across the board. There are busy times of course, but for the most part, it's super fair. I can't speak for other teams though.

Cons

Two cons. First, pay is probably closer to mid-tier than high tier. This isn't because the compensation is low on its face, but because people can easily become over-qualified. I think the reason for this is because so many people want to work here that Qualtrics tends to have most of the leverage when hiring. Aka, Qualtrics gets the pick of the litter—they can easily hire higher talent for less pay. I've seen plenty of people who are probably a tad bit overqualified for their role but because the lifestyle and office perks are so good, they don't leave. Qualtrics definitely uses this fact to their advantage. For prospective employees, it's not a deal breaker, but it's good to be aware of. Second, for promotions and up-leveling, it can be very political. This is unfortunate, but it's not atypical. With that said, promos can take a LONG time. Sure, there are some that up-level fast, and sometimes doors open up. But as a rule of thumb, promos are slow, political, and stuck behind procedure.

Thank you for taking time to leave a review - we really appreciate it. I particularly love some of the callouts on what the Provo office has to offer. Promotions and internal mobility continue to be an important part of our people development strategy. Changes to promo criteria in the last several years does mean that we're mindful to promote individuals in their role when the business needs a more senior person in the role. When the role does not require more seniority to be successful, Qmobility is one of our best paths for major career growth. This absolutely has been a change in some ways, however, looking at our promotion rates and internal mobility rates, we continue to see healthy growth for our team.

Pros

Free lunch and that’s everything

Cons

* No company vision * Pay is mediocre * Lack of growth opportunities * HR is TRASH! You will not be heard nonetheless * Sales driven, which is fine, but that changes every decision the company makes * Lack of product direction mainly because management sucks!! They cannot even prepare a decent product strategy document for a given FY. They ask the L4-L7 levels to come with product goals that they think are important! As long as you produce a BS concept on AI for your product, you are a star, you don’t have to even deliver it! Success metrics are only for the papers, they don’t care if they’re generating any revenue from it!
