Quantum Corporation Reviews

Pros

Everyone works together well to achieve common goal of being profitable company. Company understands flexibility of working remotely which can be awesome, but conversely can be a bad thing as you are expected to work extra hours occasionally. Good mid - level management support and leadership.

Cons

Inside Sales team is looked down upon from upper management and field reps. Compensation team is a complete mess. More often than not you get delayed on commission payments due to finance not having sufficient system for proper credit.

Advice to Senior Management

Management should look into taking care of sales employees and hiring better outside reps. Too much turnover due to lack of extra incentive pay for the inside sales team, and field reps get put on pedestal from executives.

Pros

Quantum is in the high tech sector where the potential for growth exists. They also have a fairly substantial installed base of customers

Cons

Senior leadership at Quantum is very poor. The board has allowed too much inbreeding and no one seems to be held accountable.
Turn over is excessively high and they hide behind the fact that Washington is a work to right state.
You can be let go for any reason at any time

Pros

- The majority of the employees (individual contributors and lower management) are very pleasant and helpful
- Benefits are OK (better than no benefits at all)

Cons

- Management refuses to acknowledge efforts of individual contributors/team members, instead lavishing accolades/increases/promotions on Managers/Directors/VPs (and definitely based on whom is in the CEO's favor)
- Leadership decisions seem to be made reactively rather than strategically, and not necessarily in the company's best (fiscal) interest
- Compensation is below market for everyone except Top 2 tiers
- Churn and burn employees in Engineering group
- An "every man for himself" mentality is fostered

Advice to Senior Management

- Provide clear career paths for your employees
- Have your management abide by the established policies, rather than allowing each VP to be a mini-King/Queen of his/her domain and make up their own rules
- Acknowledge the efforts of your "lower" employees -- they are the legs upon which you stand

Pros

- Ok work life balance
- Avg pay

Cons

- Lots of turnover
- Below avg benefits

Advice to Senior Management

Get the stock price up!

Pros

Steady paycheck, ok benefits, employees are very good to work with

Cons

No pats on the back or thanks for doing a good job. Managment dwells on things that may have been done incorrectly, instead of teaching or leading and showing how they'd like things to be done. Physical office doors are closed most of the time. You're always looking over your shoulder which is very counter productive.

Advice to Senior Management

Train the management to positively lead and show employees they care. Production will soar and this could be a leading company instead of a company with old management style, and trying to catch up with competitors.

Pros

Management wants their employees to better themselves.

Cons

The pay is not always fair.

Advice to Senior Management
