      When we made the decision to start interacting with people via Glassdoor, we made a pledge to answer all comments - good, bad and most of all, ugly. Even when the message is tough, our leadership team would rather get honest, constructive feedback that helps us build a better organization. There is significant controversy about the changes in sales plans that occurred post divestiture. We felt that the changes were necessary for the health of the business, including the impact on our employees. We continue to evaluate decisions such as over time to make sure that we are doing the right thing for everyone.. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. If you'd like to talk further about this, you can reach me at luann.johnson@quest.com LuAnn

      No culture remains and the future is bleak

      Pros

      There really were some great, talented people working at the company before the Dell acquisition and while we operating as part of Dell Software Group. The products were a bit stale, but there was line of sight to revamping quite a bit of the portfolio which was promising.

      Cons

      As soon as private equity purchased Dell Software and broke out Quest as a separate company, it went down the drain quickly. They ultimately lied to all employees around what the strategy while the true game plan was to fully take advantage of us all. I guess it was all part of their playbook, but it was dirty. Totally understand you want to make money and there were changes that needed to happen, but for God's sake...man up and be honest about what's expected to happen instead of losing trust of everyone involved. Might as well tell the rest of the surviving employees the truth that their days are limited until they get replaced by another one of your old Attachmate cronies or some young (cheap) blood that doesn't know any better. The surviving Quest employees that I still talk to are all miserable and looking for other jobs.
