Pros

Awesome people. The people make it difficult to leave.

Cons

Senior management have no balls. They know the decisions made are wrong and yet they do it anyway. The core products are amazing even though no one believes it. The consumer photo and video products are terrible and they continue to make them worse all because they dont take the time to develop and test them properly.

Pros

Quest is a great place to work if you want to go to work, do your job, and go home. Most jobs don't require extra hours unless specifically stated at certain times of the year. If you're not concerned with making things better or improving the current state of affairs, Quest is the place for you but don't rock the boat too much.

Cons

Previously flexible with work hours, as time went on Quest became much more rigid. Working from home is frowned upon these days and some managers can be more than rigid with your hours. There are a number of managers at Quest that have been around for a long time but they really don't appear to add any value to the organization. In some cases, these people hinder Quest's growth and success. Politics continue to get worse as time goes on and those that open their mouths in an attempt to make things better should watch their backs.

Pros

This company has a lot of different software applications. Offices around the globe which may present traveling and career steps.

Cons

Quest has been buying smaller software companies like crazy. After being acquired by this software giant. Fifty percent of the employee base was let go. With in the next year, two more realignments (lay offs) occurred. Key people let go due to their product being discontinued. Truly not knowing about the people who know what they are doing versus the numbers on the piece of paper. The moral of this company is low, buying up all the competitors has taken away any real competitive energy in the office. They seem to be more about buying company's then designing software.
