Pros

Great way to get experience in software sales,

Cons

Layoffs past 2 years so stability is not what it used to be. Constant changes to pay structure for BDRs making it harder to earn over attainment. Hiring freezes has stopped promotions in a big way. Average tenure is close to 2 years when back in its glory days, A BDR used to get promoted after 1 year. Compensation is well below market its almost laughable.

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.
