      It's ok, but there are better places

      Pros

      Good work/life balance, easy to get time off if you need it. There are some good people there, made a lot of friends.

      Cons

      Raises are very low and inconsistent. Management is not always clear with direction the company is headed, and changing their minds and doing a 180 a few months later.

      I'm hoping that I can convince you to contact me at luann.johnson@quest.com so that I can learn more about the cons that you mention in your review. For example, you categorize raises as very low and inconsistent. One of the first post divestiture actions was to run a merit planning process for all employees with an average pool of 4%. This is significantly better than the national average. I'd love to understand your expectations and how we failed to meet them. If you don't choose to contact me, please know that I read and appreciated your feedback regardless. LuAnn

      Thank you for taking the time to post a review. As we begin to plan for next fiscal year, we will certainly look at compensation. I appreciate your perspective and am looking forward to a data driven review process to ensure that our compensation practices support our business objectives. All the best, LuAnn

      Pros

      The products are really good and the employees really care about helping customers solve everyday problems. The work environment is pretty relaxed for the most part.

      Cons

      Since the divestiture from Dell it's been pretty rocky. Quest Software was originally a separate company before Dell acquired them. It was always great working for Quest and not much changed after Dell acquired us. A venture capital company acquired Quest from Dell in 2016. Ever since the split from Dell it's went downhill. There were major cost cuts with layoffs and many talented employees simply quit. Quest has been stripped down and the resources are vastly limited. The current management team has no plan in place to fix anything. Their hands are completely tied by the new owners of Quest. It's quite sad really. Quest used to be a great company to work for but now it's ran very poorly and their is no direction or vision. If you are considering working for Quest I recommend checking elsewhere. Quest is no longer a company that you can call a career.

      As a former employee, you probably heard the rationale for reductions that took place post divestiture. And I don't disagree that it has been a tough transition in many parts of the company. However to state categorically that the management team has no plans in place to fix anything is simply inaccurate. From payroll to expense reimbursement to sales comp to facilities management, we have extensive work streams in place whose sole purpose is to solve post-divestiture problems. I would love to talk with you further about your observations and invite you to contact me at luann.johnson@quest.com LuAnn
