Pros

If you're a uni graduate or your 1st sales role then this will all look really shiny and exciting. Things like free food, 'swag' (aka clothes in Australia) and health insurance are great at the start.

Cons

If you want a proper sales role you will never be fulfilled here. It's glorified cold calling, territories are so watered down you'd be lucky to have any chance of making targets, and the whole place is geared towards hitting cold call metrics over any upskilling or development of staff (despite what they sell you in the interview). Do some research on the HQ and the underlying culture, it can be a bit weird if you're not from a religious background. Seriously don't waste your time here - if you're good enough to get through their tough interview process then just save 2 years of your life and go work at a better known company with better career progression paths and better remuneration.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
