      Ship Sinking - Run Away - Leadership Doesn’t Care employees and unrealistic expectation on new accounts

      Strategic account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Historically a great place to work, amazing teams, culture, leadership, innovation and ability to make great W2 for past 15+ years. Family culture with innovation and market leading products. Innovation stopped 8 years ago after first private equity owner.

      Cons

      Past 18 months, all new leadership, top heavy and they have no idea what they are doing. CEO hires any past buddy that worked at EMC and have know idea what they are doing. “I got 15m dollar PO for hardware in the 1990’s. Why aren’t you getting those deals now with Quest unbelievable products”. These leaders have know idea what Quest is and can’t see that it’s all broken with the changes in past 18 months. Blind leading the blind in leadership and it’s hurting customers. Products don’t work… no innovation. Can’t keep up with competition, data base providers and free tools are better. Large customer renewal cost/% and new license cost increase monthly. Trying to become a SaaS company with legacy products that aren’t modern. Account manager can’t make money. Territory shrunk, only paid on new and no upsell opportunity and absolutely no support from new leadership because they just don’t know. Hired 500 customer success reps that know nothing about product and customers don’t want to hear from. Would not recommend to anyone. Not even to someone I thought could get experience. It’s not worth it. It’s that bad…..

      Thank you for sharing detailed feedback and for recognizing the culture, teams, and products that have shaped Quest over time. The past 18 months have brought significant change, and we understand it hasn't felt positive for everyone. Leadership is focused on evolving the business, strengthening execution, and better supporting teams while balancing innovation, experience, and customer needs.

      Great environment undermined by poor investment decisions

      Systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Quest was a great place to work. People were always focused, intent on winning and got things done when it was needed Great culture within product sets.

      Cons

      PE strangled what were good products without investing or updating. However, plenty of money to burn on unproven, obsolete, companies & products to get into the AI market. They simply abandoned long standing, dedicated enterprise customers using legacy products and laid off all their experienced workers that supported them. I still don't understand how their still in business, it won't be long. Get what you can while you can. It's turned very toxic with turnover from upper management from my understanding. Eventually you'll just be another statistic with a bullseye on your back.

We continue to invest in our product portfolio and innovation while supporting existing customers across both legacy and newer solutions. While change affects experiences differently, leadership remains confident in the company’s performance, customer relationships, and long‑term strategy.

      Decent products overshadowed by toxic culture and poor leadership

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some decent products.. though lacking real market fit

      Cons

      Where to begin. This place is a complete dumpster fire. From the top to the Vp level. Just horrible people who consistently put the blame on either the reps or marketing or fill in the blank. This place would be better if the CEO didn’t bring in all his buddies for a quick payday. All this accompanied by a “figure it out on your own” mentality makes this place a zero out of 5.
