Pros

Historically a great place to work, amazing teams, culture, leadership, innovation and ability to make great W2 for past 15+ years. Family culture with innovation and market leading products. Innovation stopped 8 years ago after first private equity owner.

Cons

Past 18 months, all new leadership, top heavy and they have no idea what they are doing. CEO hires any past buddy that worked at EMC and have know idea what they are doing. “I got 15m dollar PO for hardware in the 1990’s. Why aren’t you getting those deals now with Quest unbelievable products”. These leaders have know idea what Quest is and can’t see that it’s all broken with the changes in past 18 months. Blind leading the blind in leadership and it’s hurting customers. Products don’t work… no innovation. Can’t keep up with competition, data base providers and free tools are better. Large customer renewal cost/% and new license cost increase monthly. Trying to become a SaaS company with legacy products that aren’t modern. Account manager can’t make money. Territory shrunk, only paid on new and no upsell opportunity and absolutely no support from new leadership because they just don’t know. Hired 500 customer success reps that know nothing about product and customers don’t want to hear from. Would not recommend to anyone. Not even to someone I thought could get experience. It’s not worth it. It’s that bad…..

Thank you for sharing detailed feedback and for recognizing the culture, teams, and products that have shaped Quest over time. The past 18 months have brought significant change, and we understand it hasn't felt positive for everyone. Leadership is focused on evolving the business, strengthening execution, and better supporting teams while balancing innovation, experience, and customer needs.

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.
