Pros

Qualtrics has a lot of technologies that you can learn. You're expected to handle working with the entire stack from deploying servers, setting up your dbs, patching vms, etc. so there's a lot of opportunity to learn. Free food MWF and the people are pleasant to work with.

Cons

Qualtrics had incredibly unstable infrastructure. Multiple times a day, critical things will break in preprod and prod environments. Oncall devs frequently wake up in the middle of the night during their oncall. The company consists of 90% new grad devs. No thought in building reliable systems or designing new systems to be reliable or scalable. Feels much like devs hack away at one project and immediately jump to another without putting in care in what they are building. The people and technology stack are nice, but the software quality and infrastructure are the worst I've seen.

Pros

Fantastic people work there and it's a good place to start your career. The workplace perks are decent, there are snacks and lunches provided at the office. There are also good accommodations for mental health, religious observances, and nursing mothers.

Cons

The company pivoted to "business need" as a reason for promo. Promotions are now seemingly few and far between despite higher level individuals leaving. Recent restructuring has left those still working at the company with less time to do actual client work and more time being spent documenting the work done. ELT doesn't seem to actually listen and instead performs listening theatre.
