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

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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for recognizing the culture and strong teams that have long contributed to Quest’s success. 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.

This ship is going down

Pros

Gone. Whatever was good about this place? Dead and buried. If you’re lucky, you’ll stumble on a fossil from the old guard—those guys are the last spark of humanity left. Otherwise, it’s all plastic smiles, fresh meat, and zero clue. Enjoy the nostalgia while you can, because soon even they’ll get axed.

Cons

Work-life balance? Kiss it goodbye. Remote? Locked in a vault. Pay? From what I hear, laughably low, below average. Atmosphere? Pure paranoia—no trust, no fire, just poor bullied staff punching clocks. Micromanage? It’s the only management style they know. And respect? That’s some exotic myth around here.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. While we recognize that change can be challenging and doesn’t always land the same way for everyone, this experience doesn’t reflect how we see the organization or the environment we are working to build. We continue to invest in our people, products, and ways of working, and remain focused on creating a supportive, respectful, and high-performing culture. We know we don’t get everything right, and feedback is important—but we do see meaningful progress and commitment across the organization. We appreciate you taking the time to share your view.
