Pros

Qualtrics has a lot of technologies that you can learn. You're expected to handle working with the entire stack from deploying servers, setting up your dbs, patching vms, etc. so there's a lot of opportunity to learn. Free food MWF and the people are pleasant to work with.

Cons

Qualtrics had incredibly unstable infrastructure. Multiple times a day, critical things will break in preprod and prod environments. Oncall devs frequently wake up in the middle of the night during their oncall. The company consists of 90% new grad devs. No thought in building reliable systems or designing new systems to be reliable or scalable. Feels much like devs hack away at one project and immediately jump to another without putting in care in what they are building. The people and technology stack are nice, but the software quality and infrastructure are the worst I've seen.

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!
