Pros

-Relatively high salary (compared to area, not to Facebook, Google, etc.) -One of the few "unicorns" that is cash-flow positive -Free catered lunches thrice a week (quality!) -Free cereal, snacks, and soda -Great engineering coworkers. Everyone is friendly and smart -Great pair of Founders - Charismatic marketing genius and a former Google PM who molded engineering in G's image -Beautiful building and grounds -Growth at a breakneck speed (pre-IPO) -Dogs

Cons

-Open office plan (if that bugs you) -Growing so fast it's hard for teams to keep pace without stepping on each others' toes. Code bases can get garbled. -Officially disallows work from home. -(Possibly pro, depending on who you are) Now that Qualtrics is large enough to attract media attention and rich enough to slide away from a true Meritocracy, they're hitting the Diversity initiatives hard. -Dogs

Pros

You get to come into a seemingly laid-back environment everyday. Beautiful office space. Casual dress. Good snacks. Most perks that any modern day tech company has. You get to learn a very useful software. CEO has good energy and fun to observe.

Cons

Extremely high turnover. Don't expect this to be a permanent position. You will not get the compensation that they promise when you are recruited. Culture attempts to be bro, tech-y, entrepreneurial, and laid back on the surface, but in reality it couldn't be anything but. Don't expect to cash out big from the RESTRICTED stocks they offer you, be wary. Very judgmental, self obsessed, and superficial sales managers and department leaders. In this position, you are literally selling a commodity, responses to online surveys. Most of the time nobody has any clue where the actual survey responses are truly coming from, so you need to lie throughout the entire sales cycle to try to differentiate the service.
