Pros

Great place to start a career. Opportunity to work with well known companies. You can learn a lot for yourself since you are left on your own to figure things out most of the time. Fun culture, cool new building, catered lunch.

Cons

You can feel lot of stress from your mid level managers. I think it starts from the top, Ryan Smith and execs are putting lot of pressure on sales so the company can go public soon. There's been few firing of tenured employees. There's no focus at all on employee development only pressure to close deals. Low pay compared to other saas companies in the area.

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.
