Pros

* Great rank and file people who genuinely make it a pleasant place to work * Lots of opportunity to have an impact on the product and infrastructure * Great career advancement opportunities for junior engineers

Cons

* Bait and switch tactics are common in hiring (you've been warned!) * Company values are preached but not practiced (e.g. transparency, diversity, etc.) * Very reactive management and planning style (e.g. only care and act if something is on fire) * Below market compensation and no annual compensation review * Time vested RSUs are clawed back either immediately or after three years (depending on contract) should you leave

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.
