Business Outlook

Pros

1. Office is relatively nice and there are snacks, 3 meals catered a week 2. You can learn a lot of things here since you will have a lot of chances to build a product from scratch and be responsible for every aspect of it 3. Work life balance varies from team to team

Cons

1. They want to be next google, but it is actually a sales-driven company. All they care is about making profit instead of doing thing the right way and infra is crappy. 2. Employee compensation is below the industry average 3. Cross team communication is difficult and documentation is POOR. 4. Management doesn't actually value your opinion and interest. 5. RSUs are negligible if you join now

Sales at Qualtrics

Account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Intelligent co-workers who collaborate pretty well. - Office location. - Tech benefits i.e. Food, alcohol, 'cool' office.

Cons

- Very low percentage of AE's hitting quota, leading to a demotivated and demoralised workforce, which is quite sad given the work put in generally. - Poor training. Messy scheduling, inadequate when scheduled correctly, sometimes provided by those who know less than new hires.. - Below standard base wage and most not earning much more. - Sales floor very quiet and sometimes lifeless. - Senior management (particularly coming from States) billing Qualtrics as a 'land of hope and dreams', which falls very short locally given the amount of false hope and nightmares going on. - The above & more leading to a crazy turnover rate, leaving experienced AE's wondering why they're not doing the same, and new hires wondering what's going on..
