Pros

They might hire you and any job is better than no job...maybe

Cons

The company breads a toxic work culture producing frustrated, over-worked, and frequently leaving employees. Senior management has a penchant for hiring consultants away from the likes of Bain or McKinsey to run their verticals and/or take leadership roles. Many of whom have learned during their consulting gigs to talk a good game and justify their existence but lack real understanding of the business. QS provides these managers a practice field on which to flail until such a time they figure out what they are doing and leave for better companies and work environments. As mentioned this company has a very high employee churn rate leading to inconsistent focus/vision as well as of-course disruption. Frequently, the duties of the people leaving are piled onto those remaining b/c the company is not in a secure enough finiancal state to hire replacements. No-one seems to want to stick around very long once they see how things are run here. This includes me.

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
