Pros

Good pay, good bonuses, if you are just here for the money and can put up with lots and lots of BS, then this is the place to work till retirement. Very nice headquarter office, although some cubicles are placed next to the exit stairs where the noise could be unbearable sometimes. Management are flexible with hours worked, as long as work get done. Great medical plan, they pay 100% for employees. For someone who just started their careers, put up with their BS and you'll learn more in a year than anywhere else you could ever been.

Cons

Lots of politics - almost all people (not only management, but including staffs) are very aggressive, no team work or family feel atmosphere here at all. Everyone tries to outshine one another. Lots of conflicts and frustrations due to crazy workload. The company structure is outdated. The system is completely decentralized, every single operating unit run their own business, which makes it super challenging for compliance control, communication with the units sometimes could be tough since they will ignore most of the time. Hence work never ever gets done like scheduled. Benefits aren't competitive. Had to wait a year to enroll in 401(k) and to receive matching. Waiting period for benefits is 60 days, but if you start in the beginning of the month, you have to wait till the first day of the month, so it could be as long as 90 days.

Pros

- Free Parking - Lots of company events (annual birthday party, Halloween Party, Christmas party, etc) - Close to the Galleria so convenient for lunch and shopping - Decent annual bonuses if the company does well

Cons

- Tax department had unpopular changes in upper management that led to massive turnover. They were still understaffed a year later - Lots of overtime. Expect at least 2-4 weeks of overtime every quarter. Management consists of workaholics. - Old school mentality so no 9/80 or working remote opportunities - Unfriendly and toxic environment. People only talked to you if they needed something from you. Quick to deflect responsibility and blame others, especially when they're at fault. - Quanta is extremely decentralized. If you work at the corporate office you're expected to please the operating units. That means digging into records, reconciling items, fixing numbers for the accounting department or the operating units instead of having them take ownership. - You have to know it all. Basically act as an internal auditor on top of the usual tax duties. Question and reconcile everything before you can proceed, leading to inefficiencies and frustration.

Pros

The Company is growing and doing well. The pay is decent depending on your department.

Cons

The culture here has been horrible. There is no sense of value and appreciation for the hard work of employees. Some managers get away with being very rude. Complaints have been made and nothing is done about it. Quanta is a “who you know” type of company. Management keeps firing and then hiring people they know. Sad!
