Avis sur Quantcast

Avantages

Just finished the company all hands. We sometimes forget this is a big company that is being transformed. From where we were a year ago, I really feel the impact of all the change. The CPO (Sam Barnett) and CTO (Peter) have made a massive difference to Quantcast in the last year. It must have been hard and I like their view that "although we are much better, we are not done" Much prefer the way we run the business....

Inconvénients

Tough Q1. We have pockets of negative people.

Conseils à la direction

The speed of new products to market is great and this is awesome for the commercial team. In the last year we now have the market leading CMP, a very fast growing SaaS business and a plan for how to transition the business. Clients are excited! Killing all the old stuff must have been hard but we need to do more - glad they killed Q-Direct (what a disaster that was to sell)).

Avantages

- Great office space (spacious and in a great location in SF) - Catered lunch (Mon - Fri) + Happy Hours (Fridays) - Surrounded by smart/fun people - A lot of company activities and team outings

Inconvénients

- Benefits are not competitive - Lack of self-serve platform. Still working on it... - Lay-offs when company isn't meeting quota/performance

Conseils à la direction

When sales quotas aren't met and leadership overpays your product/engineers, so you lay off a good amount of the Commercial organization (issue with c).

Avantages

Super smart engineers. Hard engineering problems.

Inconvénients

CPO has no real product experience. Has promoted his inner circle several times each in a span of a year with no delivery or results to show for. Now these C players are hiring other D players to bring success. (facepalm)

Avantages

Smart people and a great base product

Inconvénients

Weak leadership and no new products in years

Avantages

Amazing food, people and fantastic work and culture.

Inconvénients

Waste of time if you think you can make some money on equity as long as current CEO is present. CEO is selfish guy, doesn't want to sell the company or show an exit. I can also understand, it's very hard for anyone to sell/exit it's own baby/company. So, Konrad is not the right guy, he is too attached to the company to show any exit for the company. He needs to step down, have the new CEO show the path to the exit....

Conseils à la direction

Konrad needs to step down, have someone else take over and show company exit.

Avantages

Quantcast has awesome perks. Catered lunches and snacks, great happy hours, and culturally oriented events define a dynamic and fun culture. My colleagues are one of the more educated groups I've seen in the industry. I work with Ph.D. and Masters graduates from top tier universities. Even better, instead of relegating these folks to a research role, Quantcast leverages them to be part of releasing production software....

Inconvénients

As with any company that's growing and building new products, there can be substantial uncertainty. Taking risks can be uncomfortable for some people.

Conseils à la direction

Keep playing people to their strengths and get us past some of the negativity that we've been experiencing. The future is looking amazingly promising.

Avantages

I’m very impressed with Quantcast, especially progress made the past 18 months. Here’s why: Quantcast has made significant strides across diversity and inclusion. They take this very seriously and I’m hopeful they continue on this course. The leadership team has taken thoughtful steps to addressing transparency and accountability. They address hard questions and they are all accessible and will stop and work through...

Inconvénients

The company and employees are excited about where we are today. We need to reinforce our position and historically we haven’t done a great job at that. Our time to do that is now.

Conseils à la direction

Continue to focus on culture and balancing how hard our job is with celebrating achievements across the business, grand or small.

Avantages

The atmosphere is friendly, everyone is super nice and supportive, always events to attend that are really interesting and free food is a major bonus!

Inconvénients

None that I can think of at all.

Conseils à la direction

Keep it up, couldn't have asked for a nicer place to work.
