Pros

Great culture. Cool people. Lot's of Microwavable Food.

Cons

Here's the deal, if you aren't concerned about getting paid well and only care about cool "perks" and showing your workspace off to friends/family, Qualtrics is great. They distract you from how bad your salary is with cheap perks, like microwavable food and swag. Salaries are hidden very well and odds are someone who came in after you with less qualifications is getting paid more. Management isn't looking out for your best interest. Their main job is to get you to work for as cheap as possible. This is fantastic if you're on the board of directors or in upper level management. Sadly, for regular employees, this is terrible. There isn't a place in Utah County with more over qualified employees for what they do and get paid. I know personally three people who were promised that if they worked hard that after bonuses they would be making 85k+. They all turned out to make less than 40k. Jared will lie to you in interviews and misinform you on potential earnings, but it works because you go in believing if you sacrifice for the Q you'll get rewarded. At the end of the day you don't and only the company wins.

Pros

Great benefits and resources available for their employees. In-office perks include catered lunches 3 days a week, 2 days with grub-hub credits, and free snacks and coffee daily; alongside office events and parties. There is a generally positive culture amongst the overall company.

Cons

Their actual company leadership does not always make the best decisions and rather than prioritizing root cause issues that impact both the customers and employees' daily work, they would rather prioritize shinier items that give the illusion of innovation. This will trickle down to the employees in the form of stressed deadlines, longer hours, and frustrated clients and/or frustrated teams you may work cross functionally with that are client facing. Your actual experience at qualtrics is largely based on what team/job function you are in and who your manager is. Additionally, there is a glaring diversity issue that remains unaddressed with no real effort to hire more underrepresented people of color, leading to the high turnover rate of underrepresented minorities who are not lucky enough to have great managers.
