Pros

Fast-growing company, so there are a lot of varying aspects of the business to personally influence. Flexible manager and team. Constantly new problems/projects to tackle; not much monotony in my position. Great people to work with. Global network. Credible and resume-worthy experience. Good first job out of college.

Cons

Comparably lower pay and benefits vs industry standards. Hard to sometimes see possibilities for real career growth within the company. There's not a real culture of giving preference to current employees when it comes to filling new/higher positions. I wouldn't suggest taking a random job/foothold JUST to get within the company; make sure that when you accept a job here that it's a position you're actually interested in and good at. Contrary to the popular phrase, DON'T take any random seat on the rocket ship just to be a part of the ride; there are better options.

Pros

I appreciate the investment that my seniors at the company make in me—there is a conscious effort to help me improve and grow in ways that make my job fulfilling and motivating. Likewise, my manager does a good job of helping me achieve work-life balance and takes interest in and values my time as an individual outside of work. I also appreciate that my opinions are considered and listened to. One of my favorite aspects of working at Qualtrics is the emphasis on diversity and my opportunities to participate in activities like the Women's Leadership Development group (open to men as well).

Cons

Incoming salary for level-one hires is non-negotiable for business operations positions.

Pros

* Great Benefits * Food * Awesome Coworkers * Fast Paced * Growing Company * Fun atmosphere Qualtrics has been a fun ride for the last few years, but like most people who are approaching Tier 4 of pay, I've realized that there is no future at Qualtrics. You have to go back to school because anyone at a higher level than you has more school than you and Qualtrics makes no exceptions for hiring, even loyalty to the company. I've never worked with a more fun and talented team, but they pretty much push you out after a few years due to their lack of investment in you as an employee.

Cons

* No Paternity Leave * Vacation days don't roll over (use or lose) * Bro Culture * No investment in employees * Hard to move up * Most management hired from outside * No plan to develop talent internally * Low pay * Bonuses very ambiguous * The recruiting team posts fake reviews on Glassdoor... The Qualtrics culture has shifted in the past while to being like any other tech firms in the area but with lower pay. It's still a fun place to work, but be sure to avoid the many opportunities to be shamed publicly on the internal messaging system. There is a "gratitude" culture that has begun where any questioning of direction/decisions is met with "You should be grateful that the benevolent company has given you this opportunity/chance/event/activity." Another interesting aspect is the severe lack of opportunities to participate in any project that could be a risk to the company. They don't take risks on their employees; there is always a safety net so no one really hits their full potential. It's not somewhere you can walk away from saying "I had some really cool projects that would have failed without me." As mentioned previously, it's a great place to work for a while, but don't expect to stay. They don't make any investment in their employees so at some point you realize that you won't be moving into a leadership role even though you've been scoring wonderfully on your performance reviews. You don't meet the technical bar and there will be no exceptions. Same goes for making a move to Eng without a degree even with years of experience and loyalty to the company. No exceptions. Also, although we have offices around the world don't expect to transfer offices. I've seen it happen twice, and both were under the rug. It's just not something that's allowed.
