Relaxed atmosphere, but management needs to attend business ethics courses.

Pros

Very Relaxing atmosphere, younger professionals who generally are a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Quest Software underpays their employees for amount of work put in; I can't tell you how many times I worked until 8 or 9pm to see no improvement in what I did. I worked in the Support Renewals Department and the management was awful, no consistency, being able to make reverse decisions at the last possible moment.

Pros

Gone. Whatever was good about this place? Dead and buried. If you’re lucky, you’ll stumble on a fossil from the old guard—those guys are the last spark of humanity left. Otherwise, it’s all plastic smiles, fresh meat, and zero clue. Enjoy the nostalgia while you can, because soon even they’ll get axed.

Cons

Work-life balance? Kiss it goodbye. Remote? Locked in a vault. Pay? From what I hear, laughably low, below average. Atmosphere? Pure paranoia—no trust, no fire, just poor bullied staff punching clocks. Micromanage? It’s the only management style they know. And respect? That’s some exotic myth around here.
