Svantaggi
Poor, immature sales management. Success at Quantcast depends on your manager. If you have a strong, well-respected manager who has been with the company for years, they will fight for your promotions and compensation increases, manage up into sales leadership. If you have a weak manager, they will sell you down the river to save their job and you can forget about getting a promotion. I have been lied to multiple times by my manager. Promotion cycles are all about which manager can yell the loudest and beat their chests the hardest making "calibration meetings" nothing more than ego trips for sales managers trying to promote themselves. Poor managers are making employees leave in droves. There are unprofessional managers who have said/done things that they should be fired for and nothing was done. New executive sales management. The country club of ad sales executives arrived 6-9 months ago. Veteran group and well-connected in the ad world. But, the lack of knowledge they have about Quantcast is alarming. Some well-respected sales leaders have been pushed out. Re-orgs. Quantcast is obsessed with reorganizing their teams and pretending that nothing happened. Automates everything which ends up breaking things. Quantcast has a habit of trying to automate systems that are half-baked by its engineering teams. The result is a suboptimal internal product that ends up hurting the business. Sales training is a mixed bag.
