Pros

Qualtrics is a fast-growing company with a bright future and a really solid product. The foundation of the company is strong, and they've done a pretty good job of adding a blend of homegrown and industry executives to help the company scale.

Cons

Qualtrics culture favors a very specific kind of person (flat brim hat, experience in door-to-door sales, drinks five energy drinks per day... you get the picture). If that's you, you'll settle in really well, but for other personality types it can be a little challenging and you can feel like you're on the periphery of the company. Also, little of the company's overall success is shared with entry-level employees. Qualtrics sells itself to new hires on its size, market share, and growth, but when it comes down to it, those things make little difference in the day-to-day (and paycheck) of 95% of employees.

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.
