Pros

Management team is in tune with th market and is willing to listen to employees. Good products. Potential for great compensation provided you get in through the right channels. Handled the 2009 downturn with tact and class although management had to make some tough decisions.

Cons

Somewhat difficult to advance your career due to recent hiring freezes. Communication at the middle management level could be better. Reportedly, compensation is greatly dependent on how you get in and who you know. Constant, unsubstantiated rumors of mergers and takeovers. Some really questionable acquisitions over the last couple of years, but hey, we all make mistakes!

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.
