Pros

Improved benefits when Dell acquired Quest in 2012. Originally called Dell Software and renamed SIM (Systems Integration Management). Just got sold to Elliott Management and Francisco Partners in June of this year.

Cons

Currently lots of change and upheaval. Old boys network exists where if you are not considered in the inner circle you are ignored. Not a supportive environment for women at all to thrive and develop in. Extremely challenging to get any career development or promotions. There's a definite sense of the Quest side vs. the Dell side and is extremely political. Sales compensation packages are extremely weak and unrealistic. Fine if you have no other choices, but I would run from this company. Since it was sold rumors are it will go back to being Quest Software.

Pros

The new ELT has been making a lot of changes to shift Quest to newer products, focus, and GTM strategies. This has been much needed, and the future looks much brighter. Regardless of the changes, the culture of respect and inclusivity and people-support has remained. I would refer Quest as an employer, especially the Legal department, to anyone I know.

Cons

As with any period of changes and redirected focus, there has been some turmoil in reductions, tool/platform changes, etc. This would be a tough environment for anyone who has trouble adapting.
