Pros

Free swag every winter and summer, casual work attire, private health insurance .... pretty much every other US tech company can offer

Cons

The manager (in the same time zone) will message and email you at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm at night and expect you to work even they constantly want to 'improve' work-life balance. They have quarterly management effectiveness survey but do nothing about the result ... our manager has scored 30 out of 100, 3 quarters in a row and senior management does nothing about it. There are over 200 employees in APJ, 20 in the recruitment team and 0 HR?! So no one actually care about you, your happiness at all. Mid management and senior management does nothing but weekly 1on1 ... half of the 1on1 you just sit there and have nothing to say to each other. So you can be the judge.

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.
