Minpunten
- Extremely unprofessional/unethical upper management; a lot of drug use and serious sexual harassment from the top all the way down. - False transparency. For example, in one all-hands I remember being told Qubit had spent absolutely none of the current funding; in another I was told that millions had been spent in a matter of months. There's never a clear picture of what is actually going on. - Extremely political. Layoffs come fast and strong, and it doesn't matter if you're a top performer...if you aren't a favorite (or in a relationship with someone with clout) then you are at risk. Even when layoffs aren't an issue, there is constant trash talking and some sort of scheming going on. - Terrible training, and horrible understanding of the product. When the entire company was asked to answer "what does Qubit do?" responses ranged far and wide. There were virtually no two alike. How can you expect to succeed when there is no common understanding of your business? - Sketchy/fake Glassdoor reviews. From my first month in, I was receiving requests from People Ops to write a positive review on Glassdoor with specific suggestions of things to mention. I'm not kidding when I say that almost no one I knew at Qubit was happy. - No morale. And no morals. - Constantly changing directions, but not for good reason. I understand startups change, I've been there, done that. This is not the case here. For a company who supposedly captures endless amounts of data, you'd think they'd be able to analyze the data they are gathering on their own business. Not the case. Plans and directions are changed from day to day, for no apparent reason. Or at least, there is no actual explanation for these things...i.e., no transparency. - Set in their ways. They say they want to hear suggestions and voices of the company, but it's rare that any of those ideas make it anywhere. - Poor management. Managers barely know what they are doing, let alone have the ability to direct others. Laughable. - Huge, unwarranted ego from upper management. Management will legitimately tell sales to turn down a deal worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for the most ridiculous reasons. I have actually heard the term "if they don't understand why they should buy our technology, then we don't need them." A primary reason why sales are plummeting, clients are churning, and sales reps are making little to no money. If you're in sales, don't expect the type of support where management wants to help you close a deal at all costs. Most unprofessional and miserable job I have ever had.
