Pros

Great way to get experience in software sales,

Cons

Layoffs past 2 years so stability is not what it used to be. Constant changes to pay structure for BDRs making it harder to earn over attainment. Hiring freezes has stopped promotions in a big way. Average tenure is close to 2 years when back in its glory days, A BDR used to get promoted after 1 year. Compensation is well below market its almost laughable.

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.
