Pros

Great benefits and flexible schedule. Qualtrics has a beautiful office with many employee perks like catered food, gym, child playroom, snacks, etc. They also host amazing events.

Cons

Do not join the EX team! Bad leadership, vision, and metrics. Even though we use our own survey technology to gather employee feedback, upper management didn't make the necessary changes to save a failing team. Our team was eventually diminished after they realized they messed up and screwed over all the account executives that joined the EX team in 2016-2017.

Pros

- career growth and learning for those that are driven - hard problems to work on - new user facing features and products as well as foundational platform work - free food (at least in Seattle), free snacks, frequent free swag - regular hackathons that for some projects into an actual thing

Cons

- need to keep track of your own work/life balance - good amount of technical debt across the company from the early days, however teams are actively rebuilding systems properly - as with all pre IPO companies, hard to know what equity is worth if/when we go public - No wfh, but some managers look the other way (good)

Change. Zero Marketing for Sales, and Not for the faint of heart

Account executive

Business Outlook

Pros

Always ahead of the competition and tech is second to none.

Cons

Not even close to enough marketing efforts to support such a large sales team. Be ready to cold call the first 2-3 years within a limited territory to have any chance of making commissions. Very low percentage of reps hit quota and those who do typically receive a lot of half-baked deals from the reps that resign. Survival of the fittest and tenure pays off. Magic amount of time to survive before finding success is about 2.5 to 3 years. if you make it that long, you're typically going to be just fine. Professional services team prices themselves out of more deals than they care to attempt to help the account executives win. Only 1 of roughly 25 deals presented to PS was on point and competitive with the other bids we were up against. Lots of missed revenue because of this.
