Pros

Couple of solid products inherited from Dell, that's it.

Cons

It's like monkeys with a smartphone after Dell divestiture. Mgmt don't have big picture for the company but just numbers tied for the quarter. Some of the best performing software solutions are in shambles now after the divestiture.

Quest Software Response

Thanks for your comments about Quest. It's always good to recognize other perspectives and it sounds like some of your personal experiences are reflected in your comments. One point that I'd like to address here: in the last twelve months, Quest has done both market specific targeted increases to ensure that our employees are paid at market value as well as a general compensation review with a generous merit budget. We've also established a company wide bonus plan that shares Quest's success with employees which recently made a solid mid year payout. We will continue to invest in compensation until the inequities that resulted from prior ownership are repaired. Given that it's only been one year since the divestiture, I think Quest has made significant efforts in this area. Good luck in your new role LuAnn CHRO

Pros

Quest Software is a great place to work. The people are genuinely good people, very knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Quest is a strong environment if you enjoy solving complex technical problems, working with experienced teams, and helping customers address real business and security challenges. The company has a deep portfolio, talented employees, and many opportunities to collaborate across sales, presales, product management, engineering, and customer-facing teams. I also appreciate the flexibility, the trust given to senior employees, and the ability to contribute strategically beyond a narrow job description.

Cons

Like many large technology organizations, processes can sometimes be complex, and internal alignment across teams may take time. There are also opportunities to improve enablement, communication, and consistency around product packaging, roadmap visibility, and internal workflows.
