      Pros

      Definitely a good place to work for web producers, SEO experts etc

      Cons

      Joining Quinstreet as a tech person can be extremely disappointing. There are 2 technologies basically used, Java (to build products and platform) and PHP (website maintenance). Both are more of mundane work and less innovative (n least documented). Job security is extremely low, especially in Foster City office, employees are often laid off ! There is no proper long term planning in hiring (n firing). Cost cutting is always there. Promotions are joke, and only based on experience, rather than performance. Average period of stay of employees is 1 year

      Pros

      - great company culture, people are really willing to help and teach you - office politics are pretty minimum, i think young people account for that - a lot can be learned, quinstreet pretty much does everything that has to do with online marketing/advertising - even though there is a lot of work, the atmosphere is relaxed

      Cons

      - the technology is so terrible, that when you really want to get something done, you can't because there is a technical issue and it inhibits your learning and growth - some people here are extremely underpaid and overworked, and these underpaid people know how much other people are getting paid - this is why people leave, not because it's a bad place to work, but because there's hardly anyone up top you can actually admire - layoffs are happening on a monthly basis, so if you're not at least pretending to work hard, you're gone - stock isn't worth anything, don't count on getting your bonuses - you're constantly led to believe you work at a great place that is unlike anywhere else, full of advancement and potential etc., but that is dependent only on who you know and which department you work in
