Pros

* Great colleagues: the people at Qualtrics are genuinely kind, collaborative, and fun to work with * Good work-life balance: flexible working hours and respect for personal time are the norm * Strong benefits package: competitive perks that make a real difference day-to-day

Cons

* Career growth is virtually non-existent: promotions are extremely rare, and even when deserved, they are nearly impossible to obtain * Salaries are stagnant: raises are minimal, and you can expect to stay at your starting salary for years * Bonuses are shrinking and may disappear entirely, despite being officially listed as part of the compensation package * Engineering teams are in a state of stagnation: technical growth and development are rarely recognized or encouraged by the organization

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.
