      Pros

      The people - only reason I stayed as long as I did Lower management- great people understand life work balance You may get to travel on quest dime to big work conventions Great products Ok starting pay good vacay and sick leave

      Cons

      Unfortunately working at quest was like being on the Titanic when it got hit by the iceberg. You see people colleagues let go with a life jacket which is nice of the company. But at the same time you see them and wonder if you will get on one of those lifeboats. The work is mundane and upper management expects to much with little to no rewards. I was with quest/Dell for 4 years and sadly only once saw a miniscule raise. Recently they appeared to have released a few more employees and promoted some within so that's good/sad. But the culture at quest is lacking at best I really do wish them the best of luck in the future the software they sell is actually solid.

      There have been so many investments in our employees in the year since our divestiture from Dell including immediate targeted increases for five sites where we lagged behind market and full scale compensation planning for the rest of the company. We've enhanced benefits in the US, saving many employees hundreds of dollars in contributions each year. We have also done similar work around the world to ensure that we remain competitive. We have created and inculcated a purposeful culture as exemplified by our Purpose, Vision and Values model. The success of this can be measured in the literally hundreds of peer nominations we get each quarter for our Values awards. Last but not least, we introduced a companywide bonus plans for our noncommissioned employees and made a mid year payout based on results. We are still working hard on post-divestiture operational and logistical challenges. It's no Princess Cruise but believe me, it's no Titanic.k LuAnn CHRO

      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.
