Pros

Qualtrics has incredible people and for the most part hires really well. The perks, benefits and offices are well above standard and create a good environment to work. Some of the best sales talent and leadership you could find in any software company.

Cons

Some senior management and the CEO/founder are disconnected from many aspects of the day to day business. While sales and support are strong, it has to make up for lack of investment in engineering on the user experience and design of the product. Marketing has never seemed to be understood at the company and the CEO has appointed inexperienced leadership with no marketing experience to the team. Outside of sales it is very hard to advance your career.

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!
