Pros

If you're a uni graduate or your 1st sales role then this will all look really shiny and exciting. Things like free food, 'swag' (aka clothes in Australia) and health insurance are great at the start.

Cons

If you want a proper sales role you will never be fulfilled here. It's glorified cold calling, territories are so watered down you'd be lucky to have any chance of making targets, and the whole place is geared towards hitting cold call metrics over any upskilling or development of staff (despite what they sell you in the interview). Do some research on the HQ and the underlying culture, it can be a bit weird if you're not from a religious background. Seriously don't waste your time here - if you're good enough to get through their tough interview process then just save 2 years of your life and go work at a better known company with better career progression paths and better remuneration.

Pros

From what I can tell, Qualtrics is generally following industry standards for tooling & processes, which makes you a competitive candidate for other companies. Standard tech perks in office & supports home/work balance.

Cons

Lacking senior leadership (haven't had a CTO in a long time) and prioritization is a mess - product & sales teams are constantly overselling, leads to us creating half baked products that go straight to top customers, etc. Not a lot of support from my management to change roles / move to another org; currently not promoting or hiring at all making promotions ultra competitive. The company also recently changed the ratings scale, screwing lots of people over.
