Pros

Potential for great promotion/career path opportunities Fun office culture, especially for younger employees Really great product Unique challenges every day, but less so in early part of career

Cons

Company isn't a startup anymore (not anywhere close) but doesn't want to lose the label for some reason Promotion purely based off metrics, however, politics exist and leadership picks and chooses when to utilize it Very little work life balance Too many outside hires and infiltrating corporate culture are seriously hindering ability to "climb the ladder" from within

Pros

Great benefits and resources available for their employees. In-office perks include catered lunches 3 days a week, 2 days with grub-hub credits, and free snacks and coffee daily; alongside office events and parties. There is a generally positive culture amongst the overall company.

Cons

Their actual company leadership does not always make the best decisions and rather than prioritizing root cause issues that impact both the customers and employees' daily work, they would rather prioritize shinier items that give the illusion of innovation. This will trickle down to the employees in the form of stressed deadlines, longer hours, and frustrated clients and/or frustrated teams you may work cross functionally with that are client facing. Your actual experience at qualtrics is largely based on what team/job function you are in and who your manager is. Additionally, there is a glaring diversity issue that remains unaddressed with no real effort to hire more underrepresented people of color, leading to the high turnover rate of underrepresented minorities who are not lucky enough to have great managers.
