Pros

There were good times right when we split from Dell software group. I’m having a hard time writing anything good. What made me come to work everyday was a paycheck and my co workers. We did sell good product, the competitors have taken our lunch. We need to reinvent.

Cons

Honestly there is too much to write here that this review could be a short thesis. First the management here is non existent from first line managers to higher up directors/vp’s. The managers on the UEM/DP were all promoted on the buddy system or they achieved great sales to be promoted aka got lucky when it was the good days. I’ve seen good people turn into horrible people they way top down director dictates. They have redefined micromanaging to a new level. Changes happen too often within territories. They say it’s because we are a small company and we are agile....no poor leadership and lack of experience. Pay wow this is the worst. My total OTE is what many Austin companies pay almost as BASE SALARY! They will flat out lie to you during negotiations, I made the mistake please don’t follow me. I don’t see this company getting any better than it is. The reviews on here raving 5/5 are comical. If you read this far I applaud you reading an honest review and trust me when I say this. Do not go here.

Pros

There are some pros for working here, but they're pretty basic/generic. -Work/Life Balance -Benefits -401K Option -Vacation/PBA Offerings -Colleagues

Cons

Lack of merit increases and poor bonuses for lower-salaried employees. The wage gap for women and the unapproachable HR team due to the buddy-system with management. No opportunities for growth within for deserving applicants. Accomplishments, dedication, and hard work go unrecognized. Paid "kick-off" (vacations) for sales teams and massive layoffs and workforce reductions to employees who generate and keep revenue in other departments. I really wish there wasn't a need to focus solely on the "bottom line" with current ownership and that the executive leadership team was focused on continuing with the legacy that was once Quest Software.
