Big Future - Anonymous employee Quaero Employee Review

Good place to be ahead of time

None at this time to review

Quaero is great place to work, with a "work hard, play hard culture, founded in respect and trust. It attracts good people with strong ethics who want to work hard and make a difference. And there is a noticeable lack of internal politics which is wonderfully refreshing. Our threats come from market competition, not from the colleague in the office or cube next door. When I saw the recent post here on Glassdoor with accusations of "hostile work environment", frankly I was shocked. And offended! I take pride in this company, and the Quaero team, and cannot stay quiet while unfounded allegations are publicly made by a disgruntled ex-employee. While I respect this ex-employee's right to exercise free speech, I also recognize my right to exercise my own. How dare you talk about my company and my colleagues - my friends - that way.

Quaero is a startup. As with any startup, life is exciting, dynamic, with ups and downs, and is sometimes intense. Personally, I worked for one of the largest companies in the world for 12 years and then for startups after that for about another 12 years - the last 5 years with Quaero. I love the startup environment and could never go back. But its not for everybody, I get that.
