Pros

-Relatively high salary (compared to area, not to Facebook, Google, etc.) -One of the few "unicorns" that is cash-flow positive -Free catered lunches thrice a week (quality!) -Free cereal, snacks, and soda -Great engineering coworkers. Everyone is friendly and smart -Great pair of Founders - Charismatic marketing genius and a former Google PM who molded engineering in G's image -Beautiful building and grounds -Growth at a breakneck speed (pre-IPO) -Dogs

Cons

-Open office plan (if that bugs you) -Growing so fast it's hard for teams to keep pace without stepping on each others' toes. Code bases can get garbled. -Officially disallows work from home. -(Possibly pro, depending on who you are) Now that Qualtrics is large enough to attract media attention and rich enough to slide away from a true Meritocracy, they're hitting the Diversity initiatives hard. -Dogs

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.
