Complex product portfolio; Culture lacking

Pros

Great technology; but the portfolio is complex.

Cons

Culture is very divided - old versus new. Company going through significant change since Dell separation.

Quest Software Response

Thank you for taking the time to right a review here. You are correct in that the challenge following any merger is to blend cultures. We knew that there would be the need for significant change just based on the size of Dell vs. the size of Quest. What doesn't change is the backbone of Quest's culture which is our dedication to our customers and employees, continuing to provide excellent service and products that are relevant to the business problems that customers are trying to solve. I wish you luck in your next role. LuAnn Johnson CHRO - Quest Software

Pros

Open to remote work. Nice people and relatively laid back atmosphere.

Cons

When I was there, not enough attention to strategy and competitive differentiation.

Quest Software Response

We appreciate your insightful comments about competitive differentiation and this needs to be our ongoing focus. I share your thoughts about the laid back atmosphere including our robust work from home program. It allows us to select employees from anyplace in the world to join the Quest team instead of relying on either relocating someone to a brick and mortar site or finding someone in commutable distance. Best of luck in your new role. LuAnn Johnson CHRO - Quest Software

Support Department

Pros

Reasonable benefits and salary, some good management.

Cons

Focused on the bottom line and all cost, happy to lose excellent support engineers, who provide first class support and bring in years of experience and replace with cheaper resources from other regions who have no clue about the products they are supporting. Short term gains - customers will not value support and revenues will drop longer term, customers are happy to pay a little more for quality.

Quest Software Response

Your comments about the changes in support are certainly not reflective of Quest's plan or practice. I would love to talk with you further about this if you are willing. Please contact me at luann.johnson@quest.com.
