Pros

Collaborative environment but still with plenty of ownership. Growing fast (demand is exceeding manpower), Actively tries to follow strong leadership principles and organizational structure set by predecessors like Google, Facebook, and Amazon (main principle is "transparency"). Smart people and real engineering problems. "Startup" with much less risk than your everyday startup. Lots of innovation and horizontal mobility. Catered lunches 3x a week and occasional outings.

Cons

There's a substantial difference between the cultures and degree of diversity at the different offices. Not a "con," per say, but I'd do some research to figure out which location best fits your personality and lifestyle. Stock options will improve post-IPO.

Pros

Fun atmosphere. Generally nice people to work with. Great medical benefits. The company provides a lot of t-shirts. The company also stocks pantries with food, though it's mostly junk food. Impressive seasonal parties. CEO is inspirational and a natural leader.

Cons

Horrendous career paths. Not defined in any way and upward movement is rare. Lateral mobility is also difficult. Severely lacking leadership at virtually all levels. Schizophrenic attention of upper management leads to terrible execution throughout. Culture is so-so, destructive in some cases. Lots of games, toys to project a Silicon Valley feel, but they are mostly superficial gimmicks. Products are unusually buggy. Much of life at Qualtrics is spent managing fires. Upper management has little apparent vision for its teams. Occasionally, the supreme executive wand waves to divert all attention to the latest hot topic and disrupt all momentum. A huge productivity drain and short-sited. Kills morale, hurts clients. Seemingly no trust in the employees that had to pass such a "high bar" to get hired. Company is intent on staying in Provo for some reason, despite the huge benefit to its employee base of moving to a more central location. Way too many systemic problems to IPO in the near future. Has potential, but may have peaked. Probably not what is self-proclaimed: a unicorn.

No place for women

Pros

Great product Talented team Typical tech office perks

Cons

Zero women in leadership positions. Not one on the board. Not one in the C suite. Not even one in mid-level management. Unfortunately, many women have tried to step up and assume leadership roles only to be subtly undermined and disparaged until they quit. And in all cases replaced by men favored by the executive team. Opportunistic men are not only allowed to steamroll women and take credit for their ideas and hard work, they are rewarded and promoted for it. Not one woman has a place at the table where the big decisions and promotions are made. There is real conscious and subconscious bias that has led to the exclusion and alienation of women and reflects an inability of Qualtrics' leadership to work with and communicate with talented and capable women.
