Vantaggi

- Fast growth means lots of room for career development - Reasonably good pay, great benefits and PTO - Lots of brilliant coworkers - Opportunities (sometimes involuntary) to wear a lot of hats - Post-startup culture means lots of flexibility... sometimes.

Svantaggi

- Growing pains means lots of overcommitment on the part of management, paid off by "encouraged" unpaid overtime - Lots of junior hires without many mid-senior hires makes for nonexistent mentorship and a lot of terrible design/practice - Delivery and sales always prioritized over quality, operational integrity, or design - Heavy, pervasive culture of guilting and shaming of devs by management. You will be asked if you are a team player frequently, and rarely referred to as one.

Vantaggi

Great benefits and resources available for their employees. In-office perks include catered lunches 3 days a week, 2 days with grub-hub credits, and free snacks and coffee daily; alongside office events and parties. There is a generally positive culture amongst the overall company.

Svantaggi

Their actual company leadership does not always make the best decisions and rather than prioritizing root cause issues that impact both the customers and employees' daily work, they would rather prioritize shinier items that give the illusion of innovation. This will trickle down to the employees in the form of stressed deadlines, longer hours, and frustrated clients and/or frustrated teams you may work cross functionally with that are client facing. Your actual experience at qualtrics is largely based on what team/job function you are in and who your manager is. Additionally, there is a glaring diversity issue that remains unaddressed with no real effort to hire more underrepresented people of color, leading to the high turnover rate of underrepresented minorities who are not lucky enough to have great managers.
