Pros

For what its worth, Quadient, specifically their Vancouver team(QuadientAP/Beanworks/whatever they are calling themselves these days) has a good company culture.

Cons

My time at this company has been incredibly disappointing, and I feel compelled to share my experience in the hope that it might help others avoid the frustration I've gone through. The engineering leadership here is a major source of my disillusionment. They lack any real vision or strategic direction, which leaves the teams working in a constant state of confusion and frustration. There's no clear roadmap, and honestly, it feels like we're just stumbling along without any real purpose. The codebase is old, and the tech stack is even older. It’s like trying to build something new and innovative on top of a crumbling foundation, and it’s incredibly demoralizing. Every day feels like a battle against outdated systems that should have been retired years ago. But instead of acknowledging this and pushing for modernization, leadership seems content with the status quo. It's almost as if they're afraid of change—or worse, they just don't care.

Pros

Manager Flexible work hours Other sales members

Cons

The company itself isn’t performing. Nothing works and heavily rely on your analyst. They won’t fully train AE’s on software solutions. analysts or at least mine was absolutely terrible. She would continue to overpromise and under deliver on almost every call. Investments into parcel lockers and softwares are not panning out. If you look at financials, they continue to refinance their debt, which in most situations is never good. They recently bought out their competition in parcel lockers but will have to take on their customer agreements. There’s a reason why the lost the initial opportunity. As Amazon is offering subscription lockers while Quadient requires the customer to purchase and still have high monthly costs. The company will continue to reorganize until it finds its path. For the most part, it’s an old communication company that relied on physical sales. This has to drastically change, but with current management and solutions it can’t.
