Young, inexperienced management is your biggest challenge. The new organization promoted several new directors via the "halo effect" who are responsible for managing the P&L for their business units. These managers lack the business acumen to lead their business units and improve their financial performance. They lack soft skills, where you’ll often hear them say “Quintiq is blunt”. In most cases, they’re simply rude. While feedback is encouraged, it is not well received when challenged. Quintiq certification is not the same as professional accredited certification programs. All content from the e-learnings (Quintiq Academy) are created by Quintiq employees. While many companies have a best practice department for education program development, Quintiq utilizes new hires (most recently graduated from college) to develop e-learning content when they’re not busy. Quintiq will then require their customers to take these very classes as formal training to align with their methodology and practices. While time for time is a great concept, it is used by management to low ball salaries. Expect lower than market value offers, with the promise that you'll do amazing things.
Quintiq management is inappropriate and inexperienced. This is a common theme in many reviews. Quintiq feels like a startup that has lost itself in the sales cycle to constantly generate new business and squeeze customers for more money. While this is fairly typical for many software development companies, many startups either lose the thread or graduate to the next level. Quintiq is still trying to prove their thesis.
