Qualtrics comp / refreshers

Does anyone know what they would pay for L4 /L4.5 offer in seattle (after they were acquired). I read somewhere that they don’t give any refreshers, is that true?

Comps not good. I was given 250k for a senior SDE last month.

Including bonuses or excluding?

This was base+stock (or cash over time whatever). Last month the recruiter didn't know much about how the SAP acquisition will pan out as far as comps.

Correct no refresher. L4 is coming to 230k after acquisition

I heard they said there are refreshers, but it wasn’t clear how much. Are you in Q?

They said they'll follow SAP style of smaller stock refreshes and higher base pay.

Interesting. How much is smaller, compared to initial grants?

They didn't say that. But they said it's going to be an annual cliff and a 3 yr vesting cycle. Previously, it was 4 yrs cycle and 1 annual cliff and then quarterly cliffs.
