Pros

- young, fun co-workers - tons of free food - pays much better hourly than any (non-programming) campus job at $15/hr. - great exposure to many facets of a company - getting time off is never an issue

Cons

- no career path for someone with a hard science degree, which seems to be all they will hire as product specialists - your starting salary will not adequately reflect the kind of degree and GPA you need to get hired as a product specialist - consistently hold "parties" to catch up on support requests in the evenings or on weekends (which is not worth a $25 gift card or dinner or the t-shirt you'll never wear that says you survived the madness). you're not required to attend just like you're not required to attend basketball practice over Christmas break.

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.
