Pros

Qualtrics has an energetic, yet relaxed environment. The company itself has a lot of momentum. I made very good friends while working there, and I ate a lot of free food.

Cons

They definitely roped me in with the flashy culture and free stuff, but it became clear pretty early on that this is not a place you want to stay if you want to have a very successful career. They start you at $35k-$50k depending on your position, and you'll do some climbing from there, but not much. All while you see executives show up in decked out BMWs and Land Rovers. Like several others, I personally heard some of the higher-ups brag to their visiting friends about how little they have to pay their employees. This place can be a great feather in the cap of a young college graduate, but if they want to keep quality employees, salary should be more competitive and there should definitely be more upward mobility rather than hiring management externally.

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.
