Pros

Talented colleagues Flexible working (up to a point)

Cons

Workload up, staff numbers down --> overworked colleagues without replacements. Staff being taken for granted. Expectation of working long hours without reward Poor resourcing model, not using the right people in the right places Lack of training & development opportunities, with the attitude of not wanting to develop staff because they will become marketable for competitors and then leave Expecting the best talent, but paying what they can get away with. Micromanagement from the top & a lack of trust

Director of HR & Learning and Development Thank you for your review of your time spent at Quanticate, we appreciate your thoughts. It is always difficult when a number of senior people leave a company, but for Quanticate this has been quite cyclical in its timing. We never want to lose employees, though we have to acknowledge that sometimes individuals want to move onto something new. We have made a number of senior hires this year both in the UK and in India, with more individuals joining us shortly. In terms of your other comments, we are continually working hard to develop our training and development options and a new programming training programme is in development as I write. We are also continuing to focus on our salaries to ensure that we remain where we need to be within a highly competitive market. In relation to your comments regarding working hours, resourcing, and micro management, I will feed these back to the senior management team for further investigation. Thank you once again for your review and best wishes to you for the future.

Pros

Although the company already has great work/life balance/flexible scheduling, I have seen that Quanticate has been regularly asking how their management team can improve employee satisfaction within the company by conducting surveys (and seriously considering them). I think our company makes a strong effort to take in our employees opinions. They have been successful in listening to what we would like to see and have implemented these ideas to improve benefits and the working environment as a whole. I've been happy that Quanticate has provided many employees opportunities for learning through mentoring and training (SAS and Statistics) as well as opportunities for advancement. The U.S. Headquarters in Durham has improved benefits for 2015 as well. I think we have a close knit group-ordering lunch in, going to group activities and even recently being part of Habitat for Humanity which was quite enjoyable to us all.

Cons

No real cons here to mention.

Pros

Was able to create opportunities as there had been very little foundational work done. Strong reputation as a boutique firm for biostatistics.

Cons

As a UK company, the US operation lacked support from the home office to make the office thrive. Very low pay rates, adequate benefits, great coworkers but the lack of communication and support from corporate made it very difficult to feel good about the company. They closed the office in Cambridge and relocated it to NC to reduce expenses even further.
