Pros

- Free swag every winter and summer season (not exactly a massive pro as most SaaS companies provide this) -Catered lunch 3 times a week to the office prior to COVID19 shut down - Great view from the Sydney CBD office however we are moving end of this year to North Sydney (that was not made known during myinterview) - Private health insurance (again,pretty much most US-tech companies provide this)

Cons

- Base salaries for AEs are generally a lot lower in comparison to other big tech companies - Very metric-driven sales approach (everything from prospecting calls, # of emails, initial meeting, subsequent meeting, number of opps added) are looked at by management - Poor work life balance. Managers expect you to work even after hours, without showing any appreciation. WFH is NOT encouraged - You will spend at least 10 hours a week of internal meetings (pipeline, catch-ups, "coaching" etc) just as a way for them to micromanage you - Promises so much (eg: realistic quota) but fails to deliver this. Ramping up amount is not as promised in the initial interview

Enjoy the changes silver lake has made. We are getting more efficient and back to what Qualtrics is really good at.

A lot of change can be frustrating at times, but necessary

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.
