Pros

Catered Meals. Awesome company as a whole, with a great product that creates a lot of buzz. I would recommend a position outside of the sales org.

Cons

Sales org needs some fresh outside blood (which I was). Almost all management has only ever worked at Qualtrics and has limited sales experience. And the way Qualtrics was sold when they were a rep is very different than it is now as the company has grown. They brought me in as a Senior Rep for my experience, then forced me into their metric focused way of doing everything. I have never in my life been so micro managed. It sucked any potential good out of the job within months. You either fit the culture or you don't. If you don't you'll be pushed out. They claim to be family friendly and flexible. But when it comes down to it, I always felt like it was not ok if I had to work from home with a sick kid. If you are not head down in your seat working, they assume you aren't working at all.

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.
