Pros

Bonuses every year, but pay was mediocre. Salary was stagnant for 3 years. Severance ok.

Cons

Not much training, leaves you to fend for yourself. Had intro training but had to finish regression testing too, they did not allocate time properly. Leadership has no respect for individuals. I got hired because their main reason was that their position requisition was expiring. Director lacked empathy, shames anyone in meetings, then offshores team to europe. Worst company culture, at least for my team. Might depend on which team you're in, but mine sucked.

Pros

The new ELT has been making a lot of changes to shift Quest to newer products, focus, and GTM strategies. This has been much needed, and the future looks much brighter. Regardless of the changes, the culture of respect and inclusivity and people-support has remained. I would refer Quest as an employer, especially the Legal department, to anyone I know.

Cons

As with any period of changes and redirected focus, there has been some turmoil in reductions, tool/platform changes, etc. This would be a tough environment for anyone who has trouble adapting.
