Revolving Door, lack of communication and completely unaware

Pros

-Worked with some really smart and cool people - Snacks were good - Opportunity to travel

Cons

Its completely mind boggling to me how QC has no self awareness. OR worse, they just do not care. Change is a constant. If you aren't changing (or growing) you are dead. Ad tech is ever evolving, changing, re-orging, etc. It's how you handle change that really matters and sets you apart as a true leader. QC is beyond terrible at communicating change management. Something that is extremely important for culture and the well being of employees. The lack of transparency is so disheartening. There is ZERO trust with the executive team. They are completely unapproachable and disconnected to the field. Truly Truly sad to see. This company is going downhill fast and I would run as soon as you get a better opportunity.

The Flawed Ex Whom You Love Dearly, Yet Can't Support Their Bad Habits

Pros

The people. Quantcast knows how to hire. You will work among the smartest, kindest, and most knowledgeable in media. You will learn more than you thought possible. You will respect how they play by the rules and do the right thing. You will enjoy the bevy of snacks. You will be trained appropriately – which is a rarity. You will have a really nice, new office. You will revel in the honeymoon phase... but it does not last long.

Cons

- Many, many orgs within QC have no clear growth path. - Pay is insufficient for the work they give you, in my department and others (roles encompass what is 2-3 jobs elsewhere). - For my friends in sales, the classic AE role is basically an SDR with added pressure. Add in archaic KPIs and call metrics (literally – a portion of how you are paid is based on how many meetings you have – LOL) and its clear why all of the good sellers jump ship (which in turn makes other orgs' life miserable). - You will work hard here for years to be given the tiniest raise. - Your friends will leave because it has become a revolving door. - Veterans of the company will also leave - for lack of vision, because your new structure essentially demoted them, or because they don’t want to be around when the aroma of downfall is too strong to shake off. They will unfortunately leave a trail of mediocre middle managers behind in their place. - Finally, you will leave, because you realize that as great as Quantcast once was, it is just one of many of its kind, and clients truly do not understand nor care about the difference. Have you seen the Lumascape? Trying to find Quantcast on that thing is like playing a very boring Where's Waldo.

Pros

1. Lots of camaraderie among local teams in different markets- also some amazing international teams 2. DR modeling and performance product that actually works- very interesting technology 3. Strong Product, Client Services, and Legal leadership 4. Early days were absolutely amazing- company built an amazing culture and leadership team across the organization early which led to its quick growth about 3 years ago

Cons

1. Absolute worst sales leadership, specifically for major market field teams- No desire of senior sales leadership to actually UNDERSTAND the Quantcast product and no one hired in senior sales leadership has brought any valuable relationships or clients to the table that have moved the ball forward. Spend a lot of $$$ on client events for entertainment but don't move the needle, instead of investing that money back into talent at Quantcast. 2. No strong marketing presence, message, or partnerships to support the sales teams- no brand recognition with enterprise agencies and clients; lots of confusion in the market about what "Quantcast Is" 3. No iterations to platform for years and no product growth with the market- product has limited flexibility or customization opportunities, still based on publisher based pixel network (which arguably will be irrelevant in about 2 years) 4. Lots of inappropriate behavior amongst sales org- many situations where there is bias and behavior against women, no strong female leadership, very much a "boys club"
