Pros

Smart, driven people that are always on the look out for new revenue opportunities. Transparent management regarding challenges and changes. Empowered employees to make impact on teams. Entrepreneurial in that individuals can find what works and own the process. Promote from within.

Cons

Limited engineering resources to deploy on projects. Too many projects happening to see all projects through to completion. Waterfall product development leads to long development times, slow iteration and slow learning. Engineering teams prioritize by revenue as QS is a public company, leaving new initiatives with little chance of launching. Silo'd organization with little interaction across verticals. high turn over

Pros

The company can offer strong earning potential and a large enough operation to create real opportunities for sales reps who are in the right segment with the right support at the right time. There are talented people across the organization and certain teams can be collaborative and knowledgeable. The business also has legitimate demand in the home services space, and there is value in the products when the fit is right. For someone who performs well in a fast paced, metric driven environment, there is room to make good money and gain solid experience.

Cons

The culture can feel highly numbers driven in a way that sometimes prioritizes activity volume over strategic selling and long term fit. Management quality varies significantly, and communication around expectations, compensation, and deal flexibility can be inconsistent. In some cases, sales reps may feel pressured to push opportunities that are not ideal fits, which can create frustration and hurt long term client success. There also seems to be limited alignment between leadership, sales, and support teams at times, which can make it harder to execute effectively and build confidence in the process.
