I absolutely love the work/life balance, compensation, benefits, and day to day activities working at Qualtrics.

Pros

Qualtrics provides a very transparent environment throughout the company. The compensation plan is great, they believe in a work/life balance, and are extremely goal oriented. Those that accomplish their goals are rewarded. I love the people I work with in the office, and the the clients I work with on a day to day basis.

Cons

Qualtrics only promotes based on performance. For me this is not a downside, but for others that feel they are entitled to promotion based on tenure, this can be difficult to swallow.

Not easy but certainly worth it.

Pros

The reason I left a large company I was working for to come here was the opportunity for growth. When I start the company was very small less than 40 employees. The compensation in regards to salary was tolerable, high than a lot of places but that is not where my money has been made. My money has been made with a very aggressive commission structure. There are clear cut and achievable ways to move up in the management and there are no limits on the number of managers the company can have. Moving up in the company is totally based on you and no one else. We are growing everyday and continue to expand new space in our building for the next generations of employees. We hire amazing people with a multitude of talents. The money is great. It takes a few months to build up a pipeline so that you are making 80k+ a year but once you have done that you can easily grow and sustain that income year over year.

Cons

The only downside to working at Qualtrics from some points of view would be the low starting salary. It is high considering the role you will be in but where the real money is made is in what you sell. It takes several months to build your pipeline and beginning closing deals, once you have done that you are closing deals about once a week. It is not an easy job in terms of the challenges you face day to day. You get out of it exactly what you put into it.

Pros

The opportunity to sell a product which is the industry leader in its market. Fun, friendly, and competitive work environment. A job where I am stretched everyday and leadership opportunities come off of performance and not tenure.

Cons

Well, honestly it is very hard to think of any downsides. About the only downside I can think of is that Qualtrics does not match 401k.
