If you have indeed had issues with payment of commissions, please contact me directly at luann.johnson@quest.com and I will help you resolve it immediately. There are plenty of ways to resolve employee issues but unfortunately posting on Glassdoor is not one of them. My door is open if I can help LuAnn CHRO

Pros

Nice/fun people to work with

Cons

The whole structure is a disaster. Pretty much the whole management chain has left after the Dell divestiture. Original payments were incomplete, fluctuating and without any sort of break down on what was been paid (Dell did provide a break down). An audit was made to correct any missing payments, however the results from said audits weren't passed on. We still don't know if an audit was actually done. There's an overall lack of training and the means to deliver it. There's a training department, however all the "trainers" serve pretty much as Project Managers. There's a lack of commitment on things that are said and promised, and what's actually delivered. There're no vertical growth opportunities. As explained by one of the former VPs. A growth path doesn't need to be vertical, it can be a lateral movement and you'll learn new things (you'll be paid the same though and still need to wait 12 months, if an exception is granted, or 18 months before applying to a new role). There're no quarterly/half-year recognition awards as was with Dell. Quest Software Panama doesn't meet the requirement for most banks, therefore we're VERY limited on our banking options and this will be the case for at least four(4) more years... Most of these items are accentuated by a constant assurance from management that this was going to be a smooth transition.
