Pros

Great office location, very friendly co-workers, decent benefits.

Cons

I recently left Quest for a much better paying technology sales job. They are currently holding my last pay check hostage, and have informed me it will take 3 months to be paid my final commission check. When I requested a call from someone in HR, I was completely ignored. This issue is really just the cherry on top of a terrible working experience at Quest. Honestly, do your self a favor and take any other job possible. You will be treated like an entry level employee. Expect to be micromanaged to sell an out dated, over priced software. They do not respect work life balance and during my time I saw reps fired for needing time off to attend doctors appointments and family responsibilities. If you do take a role at Quest, please be warned and also prepare to have your money held hostage.

Quest Software Response

Dear Former Employee, I'm so sorry to read your comments and would be happy to address some of these things with you via email if you prefer. On the subject of your commissions due, the sales terms and conditions document that you signed as a new employee described this process. A customer has 60 days to pay an invoice and commissions are not paid until a customer has paid Quest. I think you've been notified by our HR team that you will be paid on September 20th because your customer has paid their invoice. If there is anything else I can do to settle any of your issues, let me know. Best of luck in your new role. 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.
