Pros

Work life balance is great, and company seems committed to allowing most employees who enjoy working remote to stay remote. There are also some smart, intelligent, and all around great people that work on my team.

Cons

Recently, the 401K match program has been suspended due to COVID-19 and I'm not sure when/if that's coming back. Leadership's vision and goals are short cited. The solution to bad quarters is always cost cutting moves and sweeping layoffs. In my time here, most big decisions made by the higher ups are just temporary patches on top of larger issues or problems. Favoritism and little opportunity to move up and advance within company are also negative parts of the job that have been constant in my time here.

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.
