Pros

The people at Quest were generally between good and terrific. The products were mature and most teams seemed to continue improving them. If you are willing to work hard you could make serious and lasting contributions.

Cons

Since Quest spun off from Dell, its private equity firm owners have made decisions that seem to focus on perception, not reality. Management of a software company would benefit from true vision and direction, not attempts to look profitable at the expense of customers and products.

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.
