Quantcast Reviews

Cons

- No 401k matching
- Leadership's good intentions are there but the way they take action, especially when there is a reorganization or change, comes off an insensitive to employees who are affected by the change
- Not necessarily a con but for those who need structure, Quantcast may not be the place for you. Someone who is flexible and adaptable to changes with a drive to learn will strive here

Cons

Recent change in leadership and some reorgs have led to a bit of chaos which I believe is resolving quickly.

Cons

Poor management, but making improvements

Cons

First time managers, immaturity, gossipy

Cons

Horrible management

Run for the hills avoid wasting time and career opportunities

Company is dying (check LinkedIn headcount decrease %16 this past year due to layoffs and churn)

Incompetence across the board, highly evident with over %50 of sales team churning in SF

Micromanaging insecure leadership

Managers promoted to manage for first time who severely lack empathy and humility (this is a prerequisite to be promoted at Quantcast it appears)

New CRO is like a ghost and has no positive influence on company

Decisions like product, marketing, and most facets of the company are made in a vacuum causing groupthink, poor go-to-market strategy, and unhappy customers who’s needs are not met

The revenue model of Quantcast is fundamentally broken because it is unpredictable, which causes sound business decisions to appear impossible

Cons

decisions with upper management. People getting promoted for no reason and constantly reorganizing the company structure (for the worst). During my time there, I've seen new executives in and out within a year.

Lacks transparency and communication. People are in the dark with changes/decisions. We get that there are ups and downs within a company and we want to know about it! I'd rather hear the hard truth than have leadership hide them.

Bleeding talent. They need to take care of their employees. Give them job stability, future company outlook, improve company morale.

Lack of resources to train new managers and new employees

Cons

Awful executive team. The reviews here are accurate. The company's executive team and decisions from 2016-7 were irrational. Made poor decisions in both commercial and engineering orgs. Hired an entire commercial org with no clue about the product they sold and did nothing. Promoted and hired employees who ran dictatorial regimes. Did not listen to customers nor employees on the front lines. Fought with each other. Maybe new executive team can do better.

Violent ReOrgs. Constantly re-orging new orgs that were never broken. It was the product and market positioning that was broken.

Worsening culture. Teams constantly bad mouth each other. No spirit of cooperation. Hired people with bad personalities and/or poor abilities.

Overburdened staff. AM staff is asked to do the impossible.

Zero respect for commercial team. Thought of as second class citizens. Lost more than 70% of team since I joined.

Cons

Management is an absolute mess. The C-Level can't decide where their focus is, and the CEO is so disengaged from what's actually going on on the ground. Decisions are made in silos and don't take into account the negative impact on morale.

Cons

- Sales people incentivized to sell through unworkable accounts leading to beginning nearly every new client relationship deep in the red

-Very poor product commercialization - new products unsellable, unsupported and/or dysfunctional

- Product leadership allowed to stay on and let business offerings stagnate for last two years of tenure, customer teams ultimately blamed for stagnating/churning accounts

- Customer teams embroiled daily in nitty-gritty troubleshooting tasks

- Much-needed positions not backfilled for an entire year, leaving many ICs to shoulder the burden of 2x their original workload with zero promotions/comp increases

- The forthcoming reprieve in all the above that management tries to sell customer team ICs on is much, much too far in the future for anyone who has lived through the irrational upheaval of the past year to either care about or believe

Cons

Leadership is a mess. Constant reorgs. You have to be buddies with people to succeed.
