IT Dysfunctional & Micromanaged

Pros

None. Too many cons to bother with mentioning any minor pros.

Cons

The IT department is micromanaged from the very top. The only person who makes any real decisions is the CTO. No one is empowered to make a decision, let alone think for themselves. They claim to be a technology company, yet they sell information not technology. They "think" they are a technology company because they use the Web to sell their products & services. Yes, they spend (waste) a lot of money on their infrastructure, but that does not make them a technology company. There is absolutely no trust in the company. No matter what level you're at. The executive management thinks they are leaders, but they don't guide or inspire anyone like a true leader does. They dictate at every level. No one is inspired or encouraged to think. Their pre-production software testing is a joke. They rarely put something into production without it causing a problem.

Pros

Great place to advance your career, over a 6 year period I was promoted 5 times and each time given a role that challenged me to push myself outside of my comfort zone. The sales training is unmatched to any other company I have seen in the market. The skills are transferable to every role you take moving forward, and make you a better business person. Not many companies will not only allow but encourage young motivated people to sell to large, complex organizations. If you are looking to put in the time, listen to people that have been there before, and work hard to achieve results so that you progress your career this is the place. QAS will allow you to walk into your next job/role with such an advantage that you will get the role over others with double the amount of experience. For anyone who reads the reviews on glassdoor and sees any less favorable comments, I would caution you to take them with a grain of salt. Simple fact is that most people can't cut it here, it is for the cream of the crop. If you want a job that you do your 9-5, collect your paycheck, and go home this isn't it. Some people on here thought they were cut out for it but in reality they were not.

Cons

QAS is always about building a plan and executing to results. Where I would provide suggestions is to improve the follow through of such plans.
