Pros

Very hard to find any.

Cons

Company has no direction, and has not focused on integrating purchases. Poorly managed, bonus plan changes on the fly and is not written. It is hard to hit a moving target. Very little teamwork or support for others. Disingenuous communications with employees, either deliberate or from incompetence. It is hard to tell.

Quest Software Response
5y
I'm sorry that your experience with Quest is not what you'd like it to be. I can't respond with much specificity since your feedback is very general and I can't identify you solely from the location shown here. However, I can say that we've spent a significant amount of time this quarter alone introducing our G3 plan and clarifying the company's strategic direction. All of our bonus plans are written documents with established and transparent criteria. That includes the Quest bonus plan which recently paid out at 100%. Finally, we have been so fortunate to acquire three exception companies in the last few months: Binary Tree, Quadrotech, and erwin. We have a robust integration team and all are blending very well. If you are truly concerned with making things better here at Quest, you know that we have an open-door policy - even virtual doors are open. Please reach out to me at luann.johnson@quest.com and I'd be happy to discuss this further with you.

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.
