Competitive base. Equity is not offered, though there is a lot of emphasis on sales and profitability because we are owned by a private equity firm. There's a disconnect between what matters to management and shareholders and what matters to people working at QuickBase. It causes a lot of angst and resentment. Raises and promotions are stingy and based on an enforced curve.

The director of the design team is a strong designer, but has been promoted beyond his ability and has received no training.

Talented designers led by a terrible director. Turnover is very high.
