Pros

Qualtrics has an energetic, yet relaxed environment. The company itself has a lot of momentum. I made very good friends while working there, and I ate a lot of free food.

Cons

They definitely roped me in with the flashy culture and free stuff, but it became clear pretty early on that this is not a place you want to stay if you want to have a very successful career. They start you at $35k-$50k depending on your position, and you'll do some climbing from there, but not much. All while you see executives show up in decked out BMWs and Land Rovers. Like several others, I personally heard some of the higher-ups brag to their visiting friends about how little they have to pay their employees. This place can be a great feather in the cap of a young college graduate, but if they want to keep quality employees, salary should be more competitive and there should definitely be more upward mobility rather than hiring management externally.

Pros

Fantastic people work there and it's a good place to start your career. The workplace perks are decent, there are snacks and lunches provided at the office. There are also good accommodations for mental health, religious observances, and nursing mothers.

Cons

The company pivoted to "business need" as a reason for promo. Promotions are now seemingly few and far between despite higher level individuals leaving. Recent restructuring has left those still working at the company with less time to do actual client work and more time being spent documenting the work done. ELT doesn't seem to actually listen and instead performs listening theatre.
