Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. You're at a great site and we are looking forward to reopening, albeit slowly, in July. Glassdoor is only one way that leaders receive feedback. Our employee survey is another. The We Are Listening mailbox is another. And you can always email me directly. LuAnn CHRO

Pros

Work/life balance is great! The folks here understand family and life happens and we also share a passion for doing good work and helping others out. This is my second tour of duty with Quest and am so glad to be back here. The people are really relaxed, the processes are helpful, and I don't have to do it all. People take ownership for their responsibilities so everything keeps moving forward.

Cons

Pay is good at Quest but the merit increases can be small unless you push the right buttons.

Not a good place to work

Principal consultant

Business Outlook

Pros

Very hard to find any.

Cons

Company has no direction, and has not focused on integrating purchases. Poorly managed, bonus plan changes on the fly and is not written. It is hard to hit a moving target. Very little teamwork or support for others. Disingenuous communications with employees, either deliberate or from incompetence. It is hard to tell.

I'm sorry that your experience with Quest is not what you'd like it to be. I can't respond with much specificity since your feedback is very general and I can't identify you solely from the location shown here. However, I can say that we've spent a significant amount of time this quarter alone introducing our G3 plan and clarifying the company's strategic direction. All of our bonus plans are written documents with established and transparent criteria. That includes the Quest bonus plan which recently paid out at 100%. Finally, we have been so fortunate to acquire three exception companies in the last few months: Binary Tree, Quadrotech, and erwin. We have a robust integration team and all are blending very well. If you are truly concerned with making things better here at Quest, you know that we have an open-door policy - even virtual doors are open. Please reach out to me at luann.johnson@quest.com and I'd be happy to discuss this further with you.
