Pros

Good Project but too many issues with it. The overseas team is fun to work with. They are very knowledgeable and get the job done.

Cons

It is very very stressful environment to work in. There is no one technical in the US office, all technical people who understand the product are overseas, in a different timezone, so bring out your instant messaging typing skills....that should be the highlight of your resume. The 2 owners of the company are always fighting & arguing, cursing each other out (so mute your phones so your customers don't hear it)...There is no professionalism, they do not respect their employees and moreover they put their employees down in front of the customers every chance they get. There is no training available for new employees. You will get hired for a technical position but are not allowed to do anything technical because that skill set it not available in the US office. They will not train you on the internals of that system because the US team themselves do not know, so you are constantly relying on the overseas team for help! The project management is even worst...The owner himself is the PMO, so go figure.... There is no project plan ( there is an excel spreadsheet which they call it Project Plan..ha!), there is no defined workflow/process no real testing takes place. The PMs believe that unit test equals integrated system testing and we can now go live and the catch here is that this event does not take place 2 weeks prior to go live. WOW!!! Bad bad management and very bad project management. The model here - lets hurry up and go live and then we will fix the issues because we didn't do enough testing. IMO - stay away from these guys....

Pros

I had a good experience at medq and most of the employees are friendly and seem happy to work there. The management is pretty flexible when family issues come up and much more than my last company. I left because I got a job offering more money but sorry I left because I was laid off 6 months after I started and was out of work for a while and the next job paid less than medq. I learned alot at medq and it helped me get the job I have today.

Cons

would have liked to work from home

Pros

Nothing to say here. That's why I left.

Cons

The company hierarchy has no organization structure at its core. The projects are handled without any common sense. Responsibility is used as a vehicle for pointing fingers. This leaves some important aspects of the business, like the need for training, which applies to all employees (management included), unaddressed. The management staff are arguing all the time. The organisation of this small, family business as they like to call it, is weak. The most important part of the business is outsourced. Jobs are not clearly defined, which leads to conflicts over who will perform the task and when it will get done. On the other hand, conflicts arise when some of the employees seek to exert control within the organization when they may not have the authority. Because the company lacks the strength of a well-defined hierarchy, you need to have the most sane mind to keep it cool and do your job. The lack of structure and organization weakens the collaborative effort needed to have an essential employee development plan. You are not allowed to evolve, neither at medQ, nor at their overseas office, as the label of the position for which you were hired is glued to your forehead forever (true for 99% of the cases). There is also an inability to upgrade the staff's skill set, which degrades the ability of the company to stay competitive in the market place as satisfied medQ customers are on the verge of extinction.
