Pros

Some of the people you work with are cool. Mid-level management was supportive.

Cons

Where to begin. Standard M&A play before the most recent sale was dark. Standard large old school PE play - buy companies not doing well, slash headcount in areas that double efforts to show growth via acquisition - rinse and repeat. Not a company that accepts new product ideas and seem very close minded to how the industry is changing and the way products should keep up with those changes. Working with some of my colleagues was very toxic. Egos aren't checked at the door and you're constantly fighting with colleagues to align on initiatives.

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.
