Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. When you get a chance, please listen to the recording of our most recent town hall where we talked about the company's investments including development. In the meantime, we are looking forward to seeing you back in the office when we reopen Austin in mid May. All the best, LuAnn CHRO

Pros

I met some great people... most of whom got laid off or managed out.

Cons

They're "growing" by acquiring companies, claiming their tech debt as Quests, and laying off groups of people. Probably looks great on paper at this point. Vapid corporate speak is tiresome and can't really be trusted. EXAMPLE: On the morning I got laid off, we got an email from the CEO talking about how they were going to pay bonuses, even though the company had to make sacrifices for that to happen, and hooray, Quest! About 2 hours after I read that email, I was in a meeting with my boss getting laid off along with a lot of other people throughout the company. They aren't forthcoming with the numbers of people, but there have been a lot of layoffs ( I mean workforce reductions) in a couple years. ELT cheerleaders keep pretending it's all good and there's a plan. Looks like they're even replying here now to do some damage control.

Pros

Good Salary in a Third World country. Remote Work. Highly capable people at the lower end of the hierarchy. Flexible work. Decent benefits.

Cons

Terrible Salary in a First World country. Lack of career advancement. Contant Layoffs. They constantly let go capable employees only to recruit cheaper and less experienced folks just to save money while taking away food from the table of people that were full committed to Quest. Not Stable. Management with lack of vision and constant restructurings.
