Pros

None, honestly nothing whatsoever, this place is a horrible disaster.

Cons

Don't believe the recent run of good reviews. There's a very good chance they're all fake and/or written at the behest of the management. Quest Software likes to lay off people, this happens a lot, all the time. They treat their staff poorly. They are poorly organized. Staff morale is hopelessly and irretrievably low. There's no plan other than "AI will save us" (which it won't). Customer support - once second to none - is a horrible cheap mess.

Pros

Quest Software is a great place to work. The people are genuinely good people, very knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Quest is a strong environment if you enjoy solving complex technical problems, working with experienced teams, and helping customers address real business and security challenges. The company has a deep portfolio, talented employees, and many opportunities to collaborate across sales, presales, product management, engineering, and customer-facing teams. I also appreciate the flexibility, the trust given to senior employees, and the ability to contribute strategically beyond a narrow job description.

Cons

Like many large technology organizations, processes can sometimes be complex, and internal alignment across teams may take time. There are also opportunities to improve enablement, communication, and consistency around product packaging, roadmap visibility, and internal workflows.
