Pros

My co workers were great.

Cons

I now know three people who have left and all of them, including myself, now get paid 50%+ more at all our companies. Qualtrics starts it's engineers off at 45K, yeah, 45K for an engineering position! In Quni they get paid 30K and are expected to put in 50+ hour weeks. In the year I was there not one person got a raise, and I know people who were there 2+ years and they were still making the same 30K they were when they started, with no additional skills. Management will lie to you, they've been talking stock options for over 8 months and they've promised about 3 times now they'll have them by the end of the month, still nothing. Turnover rate is crazy high because of the reasons I've listed. Please don't get blinded by the soda and the dog running around, you spent your time in College to get a good job that you could progress in, this isn't it.

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.
