Pros

- Intelligent co-workers who collaborate pretty well. - Office location. - Tech benefits i.e. Food, alcohol, 'cool' office.

Cons

- Very low percentage of AE's hitting quota, leading to a demotivated and demoralised workforce, which is quite sad given the work put in generally. - Poor training. Messy scheduling, inadequate when scheduled correctly, sometimes provided by those who know less than new hires.. - Below standard base wage and most not earning much more. - Sales floor very quiet and sometimes lifeless. - Senior management (particularly coming from States) billing Qualtrics as a 'land of hope and dreams', which falls very short locally given the amount of false hope and nightmares going on. - The above & more leading to a crazy turnover rate, leaving experienced AE's wondering why they're not doing the same, and new hires wondering what's going on..

Pros

Free lunch and that’s everything

Cons

* No company vision * Pay is mediocre * Lack of growth opportunities * HR is TRASH! You will not be heard nonetheless * Sales driven, which is fine, but that changes every decision the company makes * Lack of product direction mainly because management sucks!! They cannot even prepare a decent product strategy document for a given FY. They ask the L4-L7 levels to come with product goals that they think are important! As long as you produce a BS concept on AI for your product, you are a star, you don’t have to even deliver it! Success metrics are only for the papers, they don’t care if they’re generating any revenue from it!
