Qubit Reviews

Pros

One of the few AI companies looking outside of their own tech stack to bring the best customer experience and revenue impact to their customer base. While most optimization platforms focus on antiquated and often misleading machine learning strategies, Qubit partners with the best of breed to bring the best personalization offerings to market fast and what is best for the customer.

Cons

Qubit has the unique ability to make the important personalization strategies easy while having the agility to make almost anything possible. That level of customization comes with challenges.

Pros

Everyone in Qubit is passionate about their job and they are constantly looking for ways to bring more success to the organization. Asking questions and learning new things is highly encouraged, and even those who seem the busiest within the organization always have time to help those who seek it. Qubit is also a diverse work place where you feel comfortable being yourself and gain exposure to unique ideas.

Cons

No glaring cons at this point

Pros

- Opportunities for professional growth + smart people leading product development - Good communication between leadership and the rest of the organization

Cons

None at the moment, onboarding remotely is always a challenge but so far it's been good.

Pros

- The privilege to work and drive ecommerce strategies for dozens of Fortune 500 Companies - Very connected even with the entire company working remote - Leadership, very experienced and transparent

Cons

- Challenging to grow and scale while onboarding new members under remote work

Pros

Free coffee, some free food if you can get to it quick enough. Nice office. Some people are ok so there's that.

Cons

You can tell that Qubit is a bit desperate as they have flooded this app with "positive" reviews. They weren't smart enough to scatter them, they posted them all at the same time. Come on Qubit team, you can't be so transparent. The NY office is filled with millennials that don't do much work and just want to look cool. Then you have the services team which is run by an awesome guy but the next senior person is a fashionista type 20 something who just throws around attitude and tries to wear "hip" ripped jeans...She probably couldn't work in any other environment. Then you have totally unqualified sales management. One guy who heads up a team has never sold the product, is totally unqualified to be managing and has single handily run 8-9 people out of the company but yet he still has his job only ever attaining 30% of his quota. The CMO and co founder parties constantly with his favorites and has built a culture of clicks. You are either cool and deemed worthy of being in the group or you are ignored, ridiculed and cast aside.

Pros

- The volume of data Qubit deal with is staggering. Makes many engineering problems exceptionally challenging/fun. Early adopters of a lot of interesting tech to deal with this (particularly Apache Beam in my time). - Great technical infrastructure that makes getting an idea to production incredibly quick. Put numerous node based micro services running real things into use within minutes/hours. - Engineers get an incredible amount of autonomy. Design/architecture and tech is entirely up to individuals and teams. More so, leadership and the product group genuinely look to engineers for direction on what could be possible with new technology that then informs product direction. - I found the engineers I worked with to be some of the smartest and nicest people I've encountered. Diverse tech backgrounds between web, backend stuff, and stats/data-science. Always incredibly enthusiastic to help and teach.

Cons

- As product strategy evolves you may move quickly between different projects and technology stacks. I quite enjoyed this, others may not. - Work can be relatively unstructured (e.g. you rarely get handed a task list or set of stories). Again I liked this, but won't be for everyone.

Pros

Overall my experience has been outstanding. Qubit had all the critical things I was looking for in my next job including a well suited role, great products, people, culture, VCs and significant growth in a hot space. Being here close to a year, I can say that the company continues to exceed expectations.

Cons

Qubit is in a competitive space where lots of companies claim to offer the same solutions that Qubit truly is. It's critical to stay on top of the market, the competition and to be focussed on what makes Qubit different. Selling Qubit isn't a walk in the park. Although Qubit has the best offering, it required effort to be effective at selling it. If you're up for the challenge in order to reap the reward, Qubit is the place for you. If not, take another job.

Pros

- Above market rate salaries (beware-- this is to make sure no one quits) - Nice offices and locations internationally - Generally smart employees (especially in Client Services and Engineering side) - Amazing perks and travel - Interesting product and well-built but no one can afford it or is willing to pay what they are charging

Cons

** You should know, because no one else has posted about it: Qubit just had a massive layoff (30+ people) and has extremely high turnover YOY. There is no loyalty here and layoffs weren't even indicators of performance. Sales are promised high reward but fired within 6 months if they haven't closed anything. Sales are stagnant. I do not recommend this company at this time because there is no job security and stress is currently very high-- I hope this will change! - The people - As stated above, the pay is really high, but this is to trap employees. No one really quits, because they could never find another company to match what they made at Qubit - ** Sexual harassment here is terrible, and its from the top down. Most unprofessional work place and sexual harassment is swept under the rug or the person making the complaints is put on a performance plan then fired. I personally witnessed this happening in my first few months at Qubit and it was extremely unethical - Most unprofessional place I have ever worked and constant fear of being fired - Very difficult to move up, little to no internal mobility on most teams - Sales team is full of entirely self-centered people who would throw each other under the bus without a second thought-- stealing accounts, completely unsupportive, toxic place

Pros

- Great people - Interesting industry and product roadmap - Solid client list

Cons

- After the 'restructuring', business shifted from being people-first to be revenue-first.. and people became overworked as morale/motivation sank - Constantly pivoting the company's value proposition, product is always over-stretching themselves to launch new instead of fix old - No progression, your title may change but your responsibility will not - Minuscule pay rises that only happen on promotion - Mid level management has no experience - A lot of self-serving people running the show and those who shout the loudest get credit/recognised; which makes it toxic for others

Pros

I have been at Qubit from the early days. This is a truly special business and one with a long and exciting road ahead. The journey we have been on has had to go through some twists and turns but we have come out of it stronger and more focused. I work with some seriously smart people and have had the pleasure of promoting and observing many talented individuals who have risen up through the business.

Cons

A legacy sink or swim culture has existed but training and development has vastly improved. If you're not naturally curious to learn new things then this company is probably not for you.
