Pros

Great culture. Cool people. Lot's of Microwavable Food.

Cons

Here's the deal, if you aren't concerned about getting paid well and only care about cool "perks" and showing your workspace off to friends/family, Qualtrics is great. They distract you from how bad your salary is with cheap perks, like microwavable food and swag. Salaries are hidden very well and odds are someone who came in after you with less qualifications is getting paid more. Management isn't looking out for your best interest. Their main job is to get you to work for as cheap as possible. This is fantastic if you're on the board of directors or in upper level management. Sadly, for regular employees, this is terrible. There isn't a place in Utah County with more over qualified employees for what they do and get paid. I know personally three people who were promised that if they worked hard that after bonuses they would be making 85k+. They all turned out to make less than 40k. Jared will lie to you in interviews and misinform you on potential earnings, but it works because you go in believing if you sacrifice for the Q you'll get rewarded. At the end of the day you don't and only the company wins.

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.
