Vantaggi
* Transparency: open environment. Everyone can look into what the CEO and leadership did last week and is doing this week (or quarter). Your position doesn't limit what you can or can't do. The competent is rewarded more than the confident. * Scalability: this is not your typical startup. We have a huge load on our system. We are getting really challenged to scale our system to the number of our customers and their customers. * Ecosystem: Like it or not, we are going to become the ecosystem for getting insights about customers, employees, and the market. As of today, everyone in education knows about it. In a few years, everyone in business will be in the same position. * Everyone is talented and HUMBLE. Yes, humble. Good luck finding that elsewhere. I'm going beyond humble now because I want to showcase this hidden gem. * We took the best habits of Google, Amazon and Microsoft. All the other bad habits like working on random stuff just for advertising, abusing our workforce, or nourishing slackers, we left them behind :) Disclaimer: these are my own thoughts; not Qualtrics'. I'm giving you my anonymous opinion as a Qualtrics employee here in Seattle.
Svantaggi
* Health insurance is not that great (compare to Microsoft). Still, I don't have to pay for it like I did in past startups!! * If you're here to slack and relax, this is not the right place for you. * If you just care about what you're doing and don't think of the customer, it won't work either. Come super prepared, the interview bar is high, as an engineer and as a human being.
