      Okay place to work

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Big engineering challenges 2. Smart engineering team 3. Coworkers are fun to work with

      Cons

      1. Not so competitive pay 2. Weird culture gap between rank&file employees and the management. If you are looking for a culture like lots of YC companies, don't bother 3. HR had done a terrible job in retaining talent. They are good at selling the company when recruiting, but doesn't care much once you are in. They tried to 'manufacture' a cool startup culture, but with the wrong mentality, it never really worked. Just ask them why most people on the photo which was taken when the company won the 'most innovative company' left, including the amazingly smart CTO. 4. Weak PM, sometimes I even wondered why we have a PM team.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1) Cutting edge everything - you can get practical experience in real-time processing, filesystems, hadoop, etc 2) Awesome people 3) Good culture- chill but hardworking 4) Easy to move around if you wish to join a different team 5) Great perks - catered lunch and dinner 6) Great location

      Cons

      1) For some people it might be a bit too corporate, by which I mean it is not a tiny startup anymore and there do need to be some 'processes' which is deadly for those who like zero constraints on commits, etc that you might get at a small startup 2) I think people can be a little too focused on compensation as a reason to work and put in extra effort. That sounds naive, but in some places the internal reason might be 'wanting to change the world' etc but in the internet advertising space, that is just not going to be the case 3) Friends/Steve Yegge/family potentially regard the company as not a Good Thing to be doing / kind of sketchy. It really is not (although I admit the personal bias) but you may have some awkward conversations

      Professional, cutting-edge place to work

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a lot of smart people working at a lot of good companies, but what has made Quantcast different is the level of genuine cooperation among very talented individuals around common goals. This is much harder said than done. The result is that it's clear what you're working on and why. There is a great sense of purpose and optimism at Quantcast to carry out the company's shared vision. There's a good balance between senior and junior talent.

      Cons

      Quantcast is transitioning from a small to a mid-sized company. There's some legacy that come with that but the management is visible in trying to adapt to the typical cultural and communication challenges that come with that. It's also a fast-growing company which means that there's far more immediate opportunity than resources sometimes allow. Overall, decisions are handled well but does mean having to be creative within constraints.
