Pros

several really good people still remain good place to learn about online marketing has some promising products and technologies

Cons

senior leadership is not very visible there is virtually no communication from top management top management appears close minded, not open to feedback the company has lost many good people over the last year, yet there seems to be no acknowledgement of this and no steps taken to understand how to motivate and retain top talent appears to lack vision and strategy of how to get back on track (or perhaps it does but it's not evident to employees as it's not being communicated)

Pros

Lots of growth opportunity to sell. Lots of companies need good leads and QuinStreet is the leader. Lots of media to use to sell.

Cons

Too separated from each vertical. Tough to hit estimated targets. Irrational expectations from both sales and marketing. No matched 401K plans.

Pros

Quin Street is definitely a very fast paced environment. As a new technical web development intern, you have an obvious paved road to moving up the corporate ladder quickly and securing a full time web development position which would eventually lead to a technical management role. The company has a reportedly rapid growth rate and new teams are very flexible and often merged or broken up in corporate restructuring. There is plenty of opportunity for expressing creativity and working on personal business related projects. The company even provides you with some resources to write a business proposal for an idea you might have and execute it within the company.

Cons

The focus of the company is marketing and there exists a sensible lack of technical knowledge from some of the management. It is after all a marketing oriented web development environment where technical advancement and new technology is not always highest priority. Making money is highest priority, and that might lead to quickly patched fixes instead of properly designed infrastructure. There doesn't seem to be much technical knowledge transfer among the teams. Weekly, or biweekly technology presentations by various groups would probably help with that issue. Teams who use internal tools often are not aware of the internal working of these tools and so simple internal configurations or bugs would take a long time to be resolved.
