Pros
Like many bay area tech companies, you will receive awesome snacks, catered lunch/dinner, and endless amounts of sparkling flavored waters. HQ host many fun events that get different teams involved with each other and supports cross-team collaboration. CEO and ELT are fairly transparent with future goals and current internal problems. Konrad's passion is exciting at first but loses steam once you deal with middle management and poor ELT decisions. Training is always extremely valuable to keep on top of new trends in the industry.
Cons
Constant employee turnover and rarely see people stay longer than 1 - 1.5 years. During my time at Quantcast, I saw three reorgs that directly affected my role. This causes you to move laterally vs making steps to advance your career. Middle Management is laughable. They have no experience and are given no training to be successful in the role. If you are unlucky and have a manager who cares more about their personal agenda and advancement, you will soon be fired or blamed for any mistake that happens. Or they will just take credit for your work. Finger pointing and blaming others happens constantly and is not looked to be a negative for managers. Instead of working together on a common goal, you will find the excuse "that's not part of my responsibilities", and then play the blame game on teammates all day long. No one wants to take something on that they believe is beneath them or outside of their roles and responsibilities. It's utter laziness.
