Pros

- Free lunch 3 times/week - Snacks - Pelotons - Five for the Fight (cancer research - one of the few things I'm genuinely proud of when I speak about Qualtrics) If you want all of the millennial-type amenities and are easily fooled by them, then this is the perfect place to work for you

Cons

- "Work-life balance" - Sure you're in the office 9-5 but you are constantly getting hit up by clients and internal folk at all hours of the day. I don't believe in a work-life balance because if the job is important, then you should prioritize it and get it done. However, Qualtrics markets this way too heavily. There is no work-life balance. Just admit it - This is a sales job without any of the upside of sales. The organization kids itself when it thinks that Customer Success is "Strategic Advisors". We hire ex-consultants and bankers only because they look good in front of a client. The only benefit is to leadership. As a CSM, you will rarely see interesting work. It's making sure your clients won't cancel - Pay is not competitive - The product is unreliable. With an organization that is heavily dominated by Sales, there's been a real gap created in Engineering. Just look at the CEO. Ryan Smith is an ego-driven Sales guy and the company reflects that.

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.
