Qualtrics folks, what is the current situation with refreshers, do you get refreshers every review period (once a year?) irrespective of performance of your initial offer grant, or is that grant being tracked as part of your total current compensation (like they do at Amazon)? And when you get the dollar amount for RSU’s, is it converted to the number of stocks on your start date or at each vest date over the first 3 years? I’ve read on Blind that the post-acquisition offers are less generous, so I’m trying to get a sense of what to expect and to gauge the long term comp outlook.
TC review also happens twice a year . From what I have heard, they usually provide you enough new grants on year 4 that your TC doesn’t drop
Yeah, I heard a lot. But true reference how it works is written in wiki. Refreshers are not available to everyone. There level and perf constraints.
The first time refreshers will be given post acquisition will be in Apr 2020. So noone knows what they are. People who got promoted got meager refreshers so far (I heard $1k/year for an L4). It's SAP. Very few senior people means eng quality is pretty subpar. Consider Qualtrics only if you have no other options.
It is still good for 3-4 years in terms of TC. It will be better than MS and Amazon for sure (in TC). Unless one has offers from G or FB it is a good place. Lyft/Uber maybe good but their stock is going down, Airbnb / Stripe God knows when they will IPO.
Qualtrics post-acquisition offer or GTFO.

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
From what I know it is still unclear on refreshers. $ amount for equity is converted to stock on vesting start date (may not be the same as your start date) and then vests over the 3 years with yearly cliffs. They do take into account your current TC. TC review is yearly, but perf review twice a year. I think only 3 companies give generous refreshers: fb, g and apple. Maybe snapchat also. As for pre and post acq offers, no idea. As long as I get the TC I want it is fine by me.
Thank you! Hopefully there is a plan for year 4 and beyond that will not require a new job search.
I also thought like you about year 4, but came to conclusion that I should be prepared to jump anytime at any company. Also Q is not FB or G, so your refreshers if there are any, will still be lower than hire grant.
