1. You will learn a lot and collaborate with team members to resolve difficult "fun" cases. 2. Relaxed dress code and free fruit in the kitchen. 3. Nice and knowledgeable co-workers. 4. Close to freeways.

Cons

1. Not good pay or benefits. 2. Very small pay increases, if any, even to top performers. 3. Always putting out fires and severly under-staffed. 4. Low morale. 6. Furloughs for employees but senior management keeps spending cash on aquisitions and gaudy events for sales force.

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.
