Pros

I love literally everything about this place. Free lunch practically every day, snacks everywhere, soft serve ice cream, and cookies on Fridays. Scooters, comfy couches, massage chairs, walking desks, and acres of beautiful gardens with strong WiFi to get work done in the shade of a tree. The benefits are unreal - 100% of health insurance premiums paid, 3% 401k contributions (even if you contribute $0), $2,500 a year into your HSA, 2 weeks of paternity leave, and $1,500 towards a vacation experience (on top of PTO). Most importantly, it’s an easy product to get behind, I’m making an impact on the world, there aren’t useless meetings, no micromanaging, I’m surrounded by smart, positive, hard-working people, and I have FUN. I look forward to going to work every day.

Cons

The only downside is that as the company grows its slowly losing the fun, fast-paced, tech start-up feel. It’s starting to feel more like a large, bureaucratic, corporation. Nothing specific and nothing that can be avoided. It has to happen as the company grows. Just kind of a bummer.

Thank you for this review and thank you for the reminder. We do want to try to keep the start-up feel as much as possible. We are changing/growing but we do not plan to lose our culture of Transparency, All in, Customer Obsessed, One Team, and Scrappy.... We know we will need to keep working hard at the this to get us through the growth but we plan on making every effort possible to be different than all the others that have grown fast into a 'bureaucratic corporation'. We appreciate the reminder and the feedback!

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.
