Pros

great people to work with great product good potential

Cons

extremely poor sdr leadership. Pushing people out for Mexico based hires. What was once a great SDR org has quickly turned into the laughing stock of the tech world. Leaders are poor and it's clear they are pushing for outsourcing people. Every SDR leader is afraid of loosing their job so they take all the pressure they feel and pass it on to their teams. Every since the company was acquired by Silverlake the SDR org has fallen apart. The good reviews you read are pre acquisition. As an SDR they currently expect 600k in closed rev. This is NOT the standard at most tech companies. AVOID starting off here go start where they will actually promote you and not have 30 people fighting over 2-3 A.E jobs.

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.
