Pros

Good work life balance is all I can think of now.

Cons

Investor's group owns this company. They were in the rush to separate the company to sell by small pieces. In order to hit the bonus target, they kept cutting people again and again.

Everyone business is owned by shareholders and Quest is no exception. There is no need or intent to cut people to hit a bonus target. Like every other business, we are evolving and our headcount needs are changing. Reducing spend in one area allows investment in another. And I don't think Quest is unique in that regard. 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.
