      Great environment undermined by poor investment decisions

      Pros

      Quest was a great place to work. People were always focused, intent on winning and got things done when it was needed Great culture within product sets.

      Cons

      PE strangled what were good products without investing or updating. However, plenty of money to burn on unproven, obsolete, companies & products to get into the AI market. They simply abandoned long standing, dedicated enterprise customers using legacy products and laid off all their experienced workers that supported them. I still don't understand how their still in business, it won't be long. Get what you can while you can. It's turned very toxic with turnover from upper management from my understanding. Eventually you'll just be another statistic with a bullseye on your back.

      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.

      Negative Employee Experience - Don't Work Here

      Pros

      Colleagues are great but are burdened with the workload of employees who have been part of a WFR.

      Cons

      The organization is top-heavy. They complain about the sales teams not generating enough revenue so they limit spending for teams, but it's ok to throw money at salaries for new leadership hired in the past 6 months. The new leadership does not value employees -- only what they can squeeze out of them. They specifically and certainly do not care about you or the contributions you've made when the let you go. "Here's a standard package, you should be grateful, bye!" Seriously, think twice before working at Quest.

      We appreciate you calling out the dedication of Quest employees. It is normal for organizational changes to increase pressure on teams, and leadership is actively reviewing structure, workloads, and priorities to better align investment, expectations, and execution across the business.
