Pros

Nice building with a nice view and free coffee.

Cons

No chance to progress as a Tech Support engineer it is unnoticed position in the company Senior Tech leadership in Cork obviously shows lack of experience/knowledge but are promoted, regularly! Engineers are on the opposite side of that spectrum Did CEO have to go through an extensive background check as all of us? My fear is you guys forgot to do that

There are other more balanced reviews about our fantastic team in Cork and I would urge applicants who are considering joining the Cork team to read those too. LuAnn CHRO

Pros

They will often pay you.

Cons

Management has no interest other than to wring as much cash out of cash cow products as possible. They're also not very good or intelligent at doing even that.

Pros

Solid products with great reputations and dedicated users Culture of inclusiveness, latitude for decision-making

Cons

Dell's purchase (and subsequent sale) of Quest was a disaster. Dell does not know how to be a software company. Hopefully Quest will now be able to renew its former glory

Thank you for your very positive and insightful comments. Your "advice to management" comment reminds me of some of my favorite lines from the movie Bull Durham about baseball. "...you hit the ball, you catch the ball." You're right - the primary imperative of any software company is to understand the products, their customers and what they need! Best of luck in your new role LuAnn CHRO
