      Pretty unstable for a company that’s been around for almost 14 years.

      Pros

      -You get to work with big brand names from time to time. -You work with pretty cool teammates and you can have a great manager. -It is a good stepping stone for your career when you’re younger. -You are forced to be a self starter. -Company throws happy hours once a month. -You get a $100/month credit for your cell phone bill. -Team events and offsides can be at cool venues. -Really great audience insights and stories around data can be told. -Learning about customers and their business goals is super interesting, and you can get creative around what products you sell to meet their needs. -You are forced to source all your new business which can hone your outbound skillset.

      Cons

      -Chief People Officer, Chief Revenue Officer, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Operating Officer all left in under one year and were never replaced - what does this tell you about an organizations structure and vision for the future? -No demand generation. They laid off the entire marketing team who to be fair, did no work, and never replaced with a marketing team that generates leads. -Clients can cancel contracts at any time due to factors out of your control such as performance or internal budget cuts. -Lack of brand awareness. -Too many people doing the jobs of 3 or 4 in what should be 1 and being overworked. -Highly unrealistic quotas. For example, if you get a big RFP or a client tends to spend a certain amount per quarter, this will raise your quota whether or not a contract is signed. -Terrible compensation plans. To be totally honest, very few people actually hit quota and you have no greater incentive to bring in more money quarter after quarter. For example, say your quota is $500k one quarter and $800k the next quarter. Say your target pay out is $15k/quarter. You would still need to hit 100% of that number to get the same total payout, despite the fact that you are bringing in significantly more money each quarter. It makes zero sense and accelerators are very flawed and only work if you hit over 100% of what is usually an impossible quota. -The food is not very good most days. -Clients are never happy about a lack of click conversions. -Most of the top performers quit and the few that are left are actively interviewing for new roles despite what management believes. -CFO is totally over his head thinking he can understand what the sales team is going through and is not genuine.

      A good stepping stone, but get ready for the Sunday Scaries

      Pros

      Varying but good opportunities to grow your career, particularly if you start at an entry-level position and have the work ethic and chops to stand apart from the crowd. Incredible people, although many of the best are leaving. The urgency to backfill these positions is evident with the recent AE and AM backfill hires. I had positive experiences with my direct managers and directors and could depend on them for support in my role. But when a company's trajectory shifts from becoming a unicorn to SOS, opportunities to get promoted are limited even if they advocate on your behalf. There are decent perks (including catered food) and a work-life balance that gets out the door by 7 pm. But, this varies significantly by your team and is often sugar-coated by the many AMs that escaped their countless all-nighters working at agencies as digital media planners. The occasional opportunity to be in a room with C-level execs that will inspire you with their life experiences and industry knowledge. There are decent diversity and inclusion programs that make an impact inside and outside of Quantcast, but there is much work to do to soften the "Tech Bro" culture that dominates the sales floor.

      Cons

      A product that provides little-to-no value paired with sales managers that encourage AEs/AMs to withhold key data that their clients expect. Quantcast's mission is to "help brands grow in the AI era," which translates to Account Executives pushing their bread-and-butter display advertising product on any inexperienced marketer. Quantcast reporting over-inflates its impact. AMs are advised to cherry-pick data, restrict access to reports in the user dashboard, and "curate" site delivery reports that show where clients' ad revenue is being spent. A/B and incrementally test show little to no impact. It's hard to pitch a huge budget increase when you know, deep down, that your product is not delivering what your client wholeheartedly believes it is. But that isn't as hard as the day that your client catches on and starts asking the hard questions that you have been dreading to receive in your inbox since the day they signed on. Don't worry, your AE will scramble to sell through another deal. Rinse, repeat. Pair this with unrealistic sales goals, and it makes sense why Quantcast's attrition rate is so high in the sales and account management organizations that work most closely with its product. To give Quantcast credit, this isn't only an issue inside of their walls but is present in the AdTech industry as a whole. Hold off, keep looking, and seek out companies that offer a product that provides the value it promises. It's easier to sell something you believe in.
