Pros
Quaero is without a doubt a company that promotes an environment for talented people. It is not in any means a "Hire and Fire" company, nor one with a "hostile" work environment. It's sad that a few non-talented disgruntled former employees aren't mature enough to take accountability for themselves or their actions in which led to their terminations. Yes, you're expected to work hard, think independently, be creative and have a professional ethic...but WOW, is that such a crazy expectation? I've worked with this company for many years and have enjoyed every minute of it. Management rewards hard work and are very fair and proactive to provide coaching when you're having a challenge. They want you to succeed. For those whom do not put forth effort, well...there's truly no free rides in life - good luck with thinking there are.
Cons
Sure, there are challenges just as there are with any company you work with...roll up your sleeves and suck it up.
