Pros

My co workers were great.

Cons

I now know three people who have left and all of them, including myself, now get paid 50%+ more at all our companies. Qualtrics starts it's engineers off at 45K, yeah, 45K for an engineering position! In Quni they get paid 30K and are expected to put in 50+ hour weeks. In the year I was there not one person got a raise, and I know people who were there 2+ years and they were still making the same 30K they were when they started, with no additional skills. Management will lie to you, they've been talking stock options for over 8 months and they've promised about 3 times now they'll have them by the end of the month, still nothing. Turnover rate is crazy high because of the reasons I've listed. Please don't get blinded by the soda and the dog running around, you spent your time in College to get a good job that you could progress in, this isn't it.

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!
