Pluspunten
I have worked at Quantcast for over a year now, and am extremely pleased with my experience here. On the sales team, we are led by managers who have a wealth of knowledge in the industry and are very supportive of personsal growth and development. We also have three full time trainers that lead weekly sessions on sales tactics. Beyond impressive management and growth, the people are Quantcast are one of the best assets. For a sales team, it is not a cut-throat environment. You are motivated by the people around you, who are smart and hard working, to do your best.
Minpunten
There is definitely a "ramp up" period for this role. I came in with no sales or industry background, and it took a good 3-6 months to get a grasp on the sales cycle (it is long and heavy on education) and to start exceeding quota. Once you understand the process however, you come to enjoy the educational and relationship building piece that goes with such a young, fast-paced growing and changing industry. The ramp up period forced me to develop sales skills that will be transferrable to whatever career I end up in the future.
