Pros
During my time at QuinStreet I've met some truly nice and intelligent folks. The company gives fresh college kids a shot to get some experience. Good coffee machine, some snacks, bagels etc.
Cons
Unfortunately, since joining QuinStreet I've noticed the decline of 1. Company performance (the education vertical stands out but other departments seem to struggle with product releases and subsequent strategies) 2. Employee Satisfaction, leading to high turnover across multiple departments I've interacted with 3. Unified Vision / Strategy - Did anything come of that insurance.com commercial? In many ways the story of QuinStreet can be summarized as a company gone astray with a questionable acquisition strategy, built on the promise of unending growth from the for profit education industry. The quality of QuinStreet's offering has always been questionable to me. The topic of engineering issues is the continued elephant in the room. A lot of the executive team have been around since the early days and the level of disconnect with some of these folks is alarming. The COO leaving was one of many red flags.
