      Pros

      Laid back atmosphere, food in the kitchen free for all, free access to the internet while "working", freindly people.

      Cons

      While people are freindly to speak with in person, emails from management are pretty abrasive. The training is okay, but much training isn't needed or before you're on the phones. Management wants input from employees but rarely gives time to do so. I guess we are expected to do it inbetween calls which on a slow day will be MAYBE 15 seconds, and doing it on breaks and lunchs seem unethical. How about getting orgainized and scheduling a time for people to give input rather than take up employees free time to do so. Add to the fact that most/all are contracted via a staffing agency so, vacation time, even working on holidays is a chore. If you want to have memorial day off expect to come into work the following saturday. Even that emergency bathroom break needs to be taken out of your total breaktime for the day. Actually hiring people for the company would be a great plus! Having reasonable benefits, paid time off in a call center atmosphere should be MANDATORY!

      Pros

      - Tons of opportunity to take initiative and to switch roles/departments/teams. - Many things are tried. Once it becomes apparent what works, resources are quickly aligned accordingly. This seems a very efficient way to behave in an environment as dynamic as internet marketing. - Senior management clearly is working on building a large and world class company that will last. The IPO was merely a milestone along the way. Internal policies and priorities are set accordingly. - The up or out policy clears out non-performers. - Great employee training programs and off sites.

      Cons

      - Pressure is always on, but... ...that is life in Silicon Valley with a company going places. - CEO is ex Navy and has a saying "loose lips sink ships". The benefit is that QuinStreet keeps its leadership position. There are some downsides: Employees lower down don't always know the latest thinking and sometimes can feel left out. Rumors (both positive and negative) occasionally start which management isn't always aware of and/or doesn't address. This can be tiresome. - Company doesn't always seem to be the smartest at deciding which projects to start/back. Senior leadership rather than the market or more knowledgeable people lower down seem to drive the projects candidates. Too often projects need to have near term revenue/profit capability. From time to time this seems to result in suboptimal long term resource allocation. Some projects cannot easily be justified with a spreadsheet. A gutfeel and monitoring of industry/technology trends should be enough. For projects originating from senior management that seems to be OK, for projects coming from the ranks, less so. That is a shame. Having said this, luckily management makes no bones about taking corrective actions quickly. Having a profitable company also gives scope for making some mistakes.
