Pros

My career was great under Dell. After the acquisition huge changes came. Those will be addressed in the cons. Good thing was that I worked from home, flexible schedule, learned a lot, and the job was fun.

Cons

After Francisco Partners, the job changed drastically. Projects had no focus, top talent was laid off, it was overall a bad experience the last few months. Clients are very displeased with overall services because they do not realize all of the turmoil the exists internally. I strongly recommend not to work here if you have other options.

Business Outlook

Pros

Improved benefits when Dell acquired Quest in 2012. Originally called Dell Software and renamed SIM (Systems Integration Management). Just got sold to Elliott Management and Francisco Partners in June of this year.

Cons

Currently lots of change and upheaval. Old boys network exists where if you are not considered in the inner circle you are ignored. Not a supportive environment for women at all to thrive and develop in. Extremely challenging to get any career development or promotions. There's a definite sense of the Quest side vs. the Dell side and is extremely political. Sales compensation packages are extremely weak and unrealistic. Fine if you have no other choices, but I would run from this company. Since it was sold rumors are it will go back to being Quest Software.
