      Pros

      I truly believe that QSC could grow to be one of the strongest brands not only within the AV, but connected technology spaces. Strong base product portfolio Some great people internally to work with

      Cons

      There are too many in management that won't let go of control, stunting growth for a lot of people. Remuneration is rapidly loosing touch to the work load and market, especially as the company moves closer to the IT space with a heavy software focus and unless this is rapidly taken into account the company will lose a lot of people to IT Takes too long to bring products to market in comparison to the wider AV/IT space Some people very much stuck in the old-ways of doing things, which are slowing the growth for the company Often can feel like one thing is said, but another thing happens leaving a lot of people confused

      High achievers should ignore this place.

      Pros

      During the integration of an acquired company, I was able to work with a team of incredibly talented people to achieve process transition and product development milestones while merging the perceptions and expectations of two corporate cultures. We shipped hardware and software faster than the acquired company ever had, and the products were as or more sophisticated than those the acquiring company normally develops. Learning both organizations' methodologies and coaching the convergence to drive results under tight timeframes was a career high for me.

      Cons

      QSC advertises itself as flat, meritocratic, and egalitarian. This may be true for some parts of the company. As it shifts from an Orange County manufacturing company to a global tech company it will need to recognize the dynamics of nurturing new or outside talent versus bowing to the influence of entrenched organizational authority. There is a bully culture at QSC. Those who have influence can easily marginalize those who do not. Certain untouchables can wave a hand and ruin your tenure at this company. Coalitions are built in hallway conversations so ascending stars or entrenched dinosaurs can neutralize threats. Well qualified and ambitious high performers are held to account by managers who want to take credit for their work, but are scared to see them shine, or worse...to be questioned by them. People with consulting backgrounds with no direct industry expertise are hired into leadership positions, so there are a lot of meetings about what to do, and the meeting culture is more important than the results the meetings are meant to drive.

      We want to thank you for your feedback in the review titled “High achievers should ignore this place”. As you mentioned we are a growing global organization. While we know this presents challenges and frustrations, we also believe in the power of feedback. We seek regular feedback from our employees in an attempt to continue to grow and thrive with the QSC culture intact. We would never promote a bullying culture, and are saddened that this was your experience. With this feedback, we will work with our management team to ensure as we grow there is an acceptance to change and as we add talented people to the QSC team we continue to look to them for a new and fresh perspective. As you continue your journey, we wish you the best of luck.

      Pros

      It's a nice environment, loved the people. HR organizes a lot of activities.

      Cons

      In my experience worst management I've dealt with, they have this so called "open door" policy where employees can meet people at all levels, when tried to highlight issues was an absolute waste of effort, the attitude was I'm into much high places why you bother me with this? So things never reach the top and you find yourself working like an ant for the crumbs. Got no recognition, appreciation, support, felt discriminated (truly, one behavior with me, totally different with my peers). Best effort I've put ever, best results ever, worst work experience ever. Just a corporate place where people are numbers and politics rule the top, totally different of what I heard it was decades ago.
