Pros

You won't find a higher paying job in the valley if you perform. There is no cap to salary.

Cons

You will work your tail off.... (is that bad?)

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.

Pros

Good benefits nice office Awesome Christmas party As a company Qualtrics is relatively metrics driven Lots of free food.

Cons

I personally heard one of higher ups boasting to a friend about how little they paid us while walking past my cubical. I realize all companies want to pay people less, but that is a very disheartening thing to hear from your employer. Don't be sucked it by all the glitz and shiny toys. Sure it sounds like a lot of fun to have a massage chairs, pool table, a gym, etc. at work. but if you are seen using any of these things during business hours (7:00am to 6:00pm) you will never get a promotion and if you are not hitting your quota you may get fired. While personally I thin some one playing pool during lunch who has not met their quota yet is sort of asking for it, I also think it is dishonest for a company to give you these nice things at work and then get mad when you use them. When interviewing they will tell you that you will make it big at Qualtrics, But the truth is the pay is crappy for every one who is not an engineer and they expect you to put in long hours. You will need to work 60+ hours a week if you ever want a promotion. Even if it only take you 40 to hit your quota.

Thank you for the thoughtful and meaningful comments you've shared. I'm very sorry to hear that someone at our company made an inappropriate comment about compensation. Regardless of the context, compensation is never something that should be taken lightly. It looks like you worked at Qualtrics for over 2 years; thank you for your hard work and the contribution you certainly made to the company's success during your time with us. For anyone reading this review, I will agree that most people at Qualtrics work very hard, and 60 hour work weeks are not unusual for some teams. However, as a company manager (I give promotions) the time spent in the office plays very little into decision making on promotions. At the end of each quarter, we run a thoughtful process that evaluates all employees. We take into consideration things like the employee’s willingness to put the customer first and their ability to deliver results. We look at their track record of having a bias towards action, being detail oriented, and then consider their effort compared to peers. When it comes to sales compensation, Qualtrics tries to attract sales reps who are comfortable betting on themselves. This means that sales compensation is structured to highly reward those who hit quota and go above and beyond in their jobs. For some people, this means long hours, late nights, and a lot of hard work as they ramp up. Fortunately, those that pursue sales with this rigor have experienced incredible success, both personally and financially. Thank you again for time at Qualtrics, we simply couldn't do this without such a talented workforce and the determination they share to deliver excellent products and service to our customers.
