Pros

in terms of perks, benefits, and overall culture, Qualtrics is a great place to work. They pay health insurance premiums and dental is cheap - they also have a generous 401k donation regardless of whether or not you donate yourself. Company parties are great and the people are generally pretty cool. Lots of free snacks, food, and drinks.

Cons

There's some politics involved in the promotion process from opportunity development to account executive. The top reps who have been in sales at Qualtrics for years have all the vast majority of the good accounts, making it hard for a new reps to hit quota. A little less than 40% of reps hit quota, many of them go entire quarters without making a single sale. They don't pay their employees enough, which is made evident by the fact that they are in a constant struggle to attract software engineers (which they desperately need more of).

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.
