Pros

good people and a recognized need to innovate

Cons

years of underinvestment in solutions while under Dell, followed by wholesale replacement of senior leadership by former Attachmate alumni post divestiture, devolved one of the most successful independent software vendors into spare parts.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. Our leadership team believes that everything that made Quest successful in the past is still part of the business today. While we can't make up for what you categorize as years of underinvestment in six months, there has been significant foundational work done already that better positions Quest for success. I hope that you will watch Quest from afar and that you will begin to notice these changes. Good luck in your new role LuAnn

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.
