Not a good place to work

Principal consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

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.

Quest Software Response

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.
