Pros

International environment, colleagues are friendly

Cons

CEO is actually a horrible human being - whenever he visits the office the whole office holds its breath for who he might fire on the spot. QIMA is run purely on increasing profit margins, and therefore employees at QIMA are viewed as cheap and easily replaceable labor. QIMA will ask a lot from you but will not expect to give you much in return (asked all employees for a temporary 30% pay cut even thought the company was doing fine). Specifically for IT: Has an incredible amount technical debt in IT and low quality spaghetti code to maintain. Money/speed valued higher than quality of work because QIMA isn't an IT-company and upper management have very little experience with managing a modern IT departments.

Pros

Great coworkers, everyone helps you get acclimated and people don't step on toes when trying to make a sale. Supervisors are very helpful and walk you through processes and help you make sales. They offer good services which makes it easier to sell them

Cons

Mostly just the pay which is decent but not enough for San Diego cost of living. You tend to work long hours to be successful as you are fully responsible for closing sales and getting enough contacts to reach out to. This is not always the case but I often find I need to work beyond 8 hours per day to be actually successful.
