Pros

Quorum's leadership; recruitment; attention to internal processes; meaningful focus on diversity, equity and inclusion; BDR and top-of-funnel operations; employee perks; culture; and aesthetic are top-notch

Cons

Unless you've been with the team for quite a while or get the largest corporate accounts, you probably won't make much money on the new logo sales side. Rather than address head-on the glaring problem of their exorbitant pricing, leadership prefers to patronize their adult staff by focusing relentlessly and needlessly on reforming and refining sales practices processes, to little avail. Given that all jobs are basically nothing but managing expectations upward while jumping through proverbial hoops to cling to one's (low base) salary and employer-based health care, I don't mean to suggest this problem is unique to this company. Nevertheless, constantly reiterating to one's sales manager that nonprofits couldn't spare one-tenth of Quorum's fee even if the product cured cancer got quite tiring quite quickly. They pay severance when they fire you, though, which was better than my last employer who tried to walk me out the door the day I suggested I was considering this ill-advised jump to Quorum.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback. It’s essential, and it’s how we grow as an organization. To address your point on pricing, we are proud that Quorum is a client-driven organization, which is reflected in how we price. We are committed to understanding how our model does or does not fit within our clients’ budgets and are willing to explore creative cost options with each of those clients, including our non-profit partners. It is also important to note our pricing is inclusive of our unlimited, best-in-class customer success. So, while we are a premium tool, the cost of Quorum won’t change throughout the year, regardless of our clients’ support needs. To your second point concerning engagement and perks, I’m sorry to read they didn’t feel genuine. This was not our intention. As a company with a strong emphasis on relationships, conducting check-ins, coffee chats, donuts, etc., are our attempts to continue building a strong company culture even in virtual settings. If you are open to forwarding better alternatives, I am all ears and welcome any other feedback you believe is valuable for our team to hear. nahiely@quorum.us Director of People

Pros

Quorum gave me an opportunity to build, not just execute. During my time with the company, I was able to help establish and scale a strategic ABM motion that evolved from a pilot program into a meaningful part of the go-to-market strategy. The company is willing to give ownership to motivated employees, and leaders are generally receptive to new ideas when those ideas are backed by data and execution. The marketing team is one of the strongest groups I've worked with. There is a high degree of collaboration across demand generation, product marketing, digital, events, customer marketing, and sales. I consistently found colleagues willing to share knowledge, challenge assumptions, and help move projects forward. Quorum serves an interesting market with a strong customer base that includes many large enterprise organizations. The work is often complex and requires thoughtful collaboration with sales and cross-functional teams, which creates opportunities for professional growth. The company has also embraced AI and modern marketing workflows faster than many organizations of similar size, giving team members room to experiment and innovate.

Cons

As with many growing SaaS companies, priorities can shift quickly and teams are often asked to balance strategic initiatives with near-term business objectives. Employees who thrive in highly structured environments may find the pace and ambiguity challenging at times. The scope of some roles can evolve significantly as programs mature. While this creates opportunities to learn and expand responsibility, it can occasionally outpace formal job definitions or compensation structures.
