Pluspunten

The people I work with are really incredible. There is a lot of camaraderie in the office.

Minpunten

The math for success at Qualtrics does not add up. There is a company wide initiative to increase our average deal size to $7,500 (for those of you who are interviewing... be very cautious when the recruiters tell you average deal size is $30k... you're being lied to). The ACTUAL average deal size right now is around $5,000. You are expected to self-generate 12 opps per month as an AE and get another 4 opps per month from the SDRs (btw, you won't). Assuming best case scenario you get 16 opps per month (or 48 for the quarter) and a 25% close ratio, that is 12 closed opps per quarter at an average deal size of $7,500 = $90,000 in Quota Relief. Only problem is that your quota is $140k. And the average deal size isn't actually $7,500, it's only $5,000. This helps explain why only 10-15% of people actually hit quota in any given quarter. Recruiters will tell you 45% of people hit quota at Qualtrics, and that is true for the company as a whole. But the Dallas office is a stuck with bottom-of-the-barrel account territories (and your account book never changes). It's a frustrating situation to be in, considering none of us took this job with aspirations of being mediocre. And the response from leadership is to call us all lazy and put incredible pressure on us to make more daily activity. Someone recently posted a Glassdoor review titled "Are you willing to work for it?" If you come to Qualtrics, you will definitely work harder than you ever have before. But at the end of the day, you won't have much to show for it.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
