Pros

It helps you pay the rent until you find something better.

Cons

Your job is to facilitate the communication between the overseas team and medQ clients during the process of software deployment on their system. Most of them clients are unhappy, therefore, not all of them pay their fees. Your job security depends on you being able to handle being yelled at by the clients and/or the management. In the US team, no one is tech savvy, so, don't worry, you have to acquire real technical skills. You can't really do anything on the engineering side. Most of the time the Romanian team gets to do the technical work. They complain a lot and try to pin their faults on you, even when it comes to simple tasks. Keep in mind that the skills that you (won't) get from doing this job won't help you very much at getting a better one. Think twice before coming here. Don't stay long.

Pros

I had a good experience at medq and most of the employees are friendly and seem happy to work there. The management is pretty flexible when family issues come up and much more than my last company. I left because I got a job offering more money but sorry I left because I was laid off 6 months after I started and was out of work for a while and the next job paid less than medq. I learned alot at medq and it helped me get the job I have today.

Cons

would have liked to work from home

Pros

Nothing to say here. That's why I left.

Cons

The company hierarchy has no organization structure at its core. The projects are handled without any common sense. Responsibility is used as a vehicle for pointing fingers. This leaves some important aspects of the business, like the need for training, which applies to all employees (management included), unaddressed. The management staff are arguing all the time. The organisation of this small, family business as they like to call it, is weak. The most important part of the business is outsourced. Jobs are not clearly defined, which leads to conflicts over who will perform the task and when it will get done. On the other hand, conflicts arise when some of the employees seek to exert control within the organization when they may not have the authority. Because the company lacks the strength of a well-defined hierarchy, you need to have the most sane mind to keep it cool and do your job. The lack of structure and organization weakens the collaborative effort needed to have an essential employee development plan. You are not allowed to evolve, neither at medQ, nor at their overseas office, as the label of the position for which you were hired is glued to your forehead forever (true for 99% of the cases). There is also an inability to upgrade the staff's skill set, which degrades the ability of the company to stay competitive in the market place as satisfied medQ customers are on the verge of extinction.
