Qualtrics is a unicorn that lost its magic and its horn
Pros
- You get to work with great, high-quality people on your direct team who will help propel your career forward - Nice in-office perks standard for a business catering to Millennial and Gen Z employees (catered lunch, drink bar, ice cream, etc)
Cons
- Upper-level management isn't transparent and is generally tone-deaf to the needs of employees or long-term business needs. They're only worried about short-term margin gains meant to turn Qualtrics into a quick ROI for Silver Lake. - Qualtrics pays 20-30% less than comparable companies, so salary isn't competitive. - No equity incentives offered alongside your salary, unless you're an upper-level employee then you do receive equity. It is abnormal for a growing company of this size not to have equity incentives. - Promotion opportunities and timeline are lower and slower than your average tech company. As such its difficult to grow within the company, you'll be at Qualtrics 2-3 years before you hit a ceiling in your role then its times to move on to another company.
