Pros

Some good young dynamic people who have some great ideas to move the company forward. Also food and drink is a perk.

Cons

The company has no training programme for new starters what so ever. They pretend to you and even have a name for it called Nubit training. On so many ocassions the training was booked for them to cancel and for it not to go ahead. I would recommend looking deeply into this as this will be a massive issue for you to keep new and talented people with the company whether it's for new starters or existing employees that want to add to the skills they already have. No atmosphere, no fun and not sure if they actually have a culture.

Qubit Response

It is clear that this review has been written by someone unhappy with their experience. This is a shame given that most of the people here at Qubit have a very high opinion of the organisation, love working here, and are proud of the culture. We value employee feedback, and when issues are raised at Qubit, we look to solve them. We constantly refine and evaluate on onboarding training at Qubit, and receive great feedback about this process. Qubit still a growth stage start-up, so our onboarding does involve self learning. This requires the attitude “if I don’t know something I will find it out” and if you approach it that way you will find 250 people here that can help you or point you in the right direction. We have plenty of training resources, both classroom and elearning, which are highlighted clearly during onboarding. It is up to the individual to attend these (although we appreciate it is frustrating if they are rescheduled from time to time). If someone joins Qubit from a larger organisation where everything was defined and given to them, we might not be the right match. We know this happens sometimes and it is best for both parties when they part ways. The comment on “no atmosphere, no fun and no culture” does not reflect my experience at Qubit, We are passionate about maintaining our culture as we grow, and work hard to provide an inclusive and welcoming environment. I haven’t worked somewhere that is as open and as enjoyable as this. People at Qubit engage with you at the drop of a hat. Yet like any relationship, you get out what you put in. Our approach with prospects is based on experience; the service and product that Qubit sell is relationship based and not license based. It is a slow enterprise sales cycle that needs care and attention. The “phone everybody in the organisation many times a day” approach might work in shorter cycles but not within the cycle we have here. This approach results in poor experience for prospects. Our approach has been updated for the modern sales person and the churn and burn approach to calls doesn’t work in a modern enterprise sales cycle. “That’s why the competition is always winning and why we are doing the odd deal every 3 months” is factually incorrect. The reviewer was here for less than 3 months and a number of deals happened during that period. We actually have a very high success rate against the competition. Qubit clearly wasn’t the right fit in this case, and I wish the reviewer the best in finding a more suitable role. If you (a job applicant reading this) are considering a job here please come and talk to us and realise that the comments in this review are not representative of Qubit. It is a great place to work and I will happily talk this through with anyone thinking of working here.

Pros

Pros: * Mostly intelligent and competent people * Good role for new graduate * Some big client names to work on * Good for learning about browser/web

Cons

Cons: * Company focus on Product and Strategic Consultancy, CSE role is the price to pay for clients to use the Product * Professional Services and Customer Success are like Danny DeVito (PS) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (CS) in Twins * For every 1 CSE promotion there are 5-10 Account Manager/Strategist promotions * The role is marketed as an opportunity for progression into the Product Engineering team, one person did this in 1.5 years * No Mentoring, budget for conferences, time allotted to work on product * Different teams/departments have little communication and no transparency into things like product roadmap * Spending cuts visible in kitchen, events * Process to get into product engineering includes excelling as CSE, passing a competency assessment, contributing majorly to product codebase (no available time or training during working hours) only to interview against external candidates * Not much exposure to modern tech stack (no external libraries/server side Node) within role

Pros

The people are smart and friendly Perks like the free company events and free food is great Good Pay

Cons

Client Engineers are treated as second class engineers Zero progression Poor Training Old tech used in the Client Engineering team means people will get behind in the industry over time Not enough staff to cope with the amount of work and it's getting worse Management have favourite staff who they focus on Lies are told in the company to give an illusion of positive change for short term fixes Expectations are for people to always work late to cope with the excessive work load and you are judged if you don't work late
