Pros

Working at Qstream for several years, I was able to be a part of something great. With an inspired team of brilliant people who worked really (REALLY) hard, I learned a lot from my colleagues and managers. I was given freedom and encouraged to take initiative and run with my own projects. Overall, the culture and people I worked with daily kept me motivated over the years. A new CEO had come in to take Qstream to the next level. While I didn't get to know him before I left, I do know that he spent a great deal of time sitting and observing the client-facing team, listening to employees and having meetings with staff to make sure he gets it RIGHT for the employees and Qstream's customers. That is important!

Cons

Culture has taken a hit, and morale is low with so many changes in management and reduction in force over the last year. But fear not, because there are some AMAZING leaders in place today - in client services, marketing and sales - who still put their heart and soul into Qstream every day, and they have what it takes!

Pros

Qstream has trimmed a lot of fat, and a lot of senior managers that were holding the product back - this is a good thing. The clients that use the product as advised, always have positive feedback. With the reorganizations that have taken place, this product is set up to finally succeed. Sr. Mgmt is finally listening, sharing board meeting notes, and providing an overall guiding principle for the company to follow. The right things are being said AND done. I've been through a handful of startups, and this effort they are making is going to make the company successful. Credit where it is due, the former CEO built a company that was bigger than he could manage, and that is a great thing. The board is behind the changes that have been made to save the company and make it better than it was. Don't believe the hype around them prepping to sell the company - this is the way of startup companies that have to pivot to survive.

Cons

Reorganizations are tough no matter what (even if they are needed to fix everything). The office space is now very empty in Burlington, and the company culture has taken a big morale hit. Though the tide is turning, the year has been a tough one.

Thanks for the encouragement and practical advice. One year on from your review, and we have come a long way with expanding existing customer relationships, onboarding new customers and building out teams to deliver against customer, product and business goals. We'll certainly share plans, take in input and suggestions from all teams and Qstreamers, and keep up the communications.
