Temp working at Quest

Pros

Casual work environment free coffee, tea and fruit

Cons

They do not promote within. Applying for jobs via the internal Quest website is of zero use since the recruiters are only incentivized to hire "non quest" employees (and yes apparently that includes contract workers). So the recruiters simply throw your application away if your applying via the internal site. It's very frustrating and took me six months to figure this out after applying for a job several times before going directly to the hiring managers of which they had no clue about my interest or ever seen my resume.

Pros

Good place to learn virtualization technology, pretty laid back support group. Reimbursement for approved certification like VCP, and MCSE.

Cons

Have been working here for three years, recieved 3% raised, which was pretty much nullified by furlough for two of the three years working here. So far Q1 2012, I've seen layoffs in my department, and no furloughs yet. Also, my department is very numbers driven, and heavy on customer satisfaction. The support role is more of a customer service role, than a technical/engineering role.

Decent products overshadowed by toxic culture and poor leadership

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.
