Pros

- Work with some of the most intelligent, innovative and motivated people across all post-sales functions with a team spirit that I haven't experienced much before (can't speak for sales teams because of too little insight). The long hiring process pays off! - Inspirational leaders that really do care about their staff (again, can't speak for sales management). Leadership focus very much on their team's development and personal trajectory whilst also staying laser focused on the company vision. - All the usual tech company benefits such as free food all day round, lots of free/subsidised social activities (such as sports classes, weekends away, summer & christmas party etc.), open workspace, amazing city center location, private health insurance, stock options and more. - High amount of responsibility and impact on department, company and own development. - Connected to the above, high employee trajectory and quick career progression (if the job is for you and you're willing to give 200%). - Transparency and visibility right to the C-Level. Frequent communications, town-halls and Q&As allow for everyone across any function to be super close to senior leadership and very well informed.

Cons

- Typical hyper-growth pains that any person who's striving for a strart-up environment would embrace, but for some it would be too uncomfortable. Examples are: Being understaffed or stretched for work-load, missing processes or malfunctioning processes that need developing or fixing, rapid and constant change, touch business or client challenges that need owning and resolving etc. - For some functions still very dependent on the US head office which slows down progress or can account for additional challenges in cultural alignment with the European markets. - Inflexible working conditions. No home office & no official flex time on start and end of working day.

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.
