Quest Software reviews

As mentioned in the title, there's 0 job security. Shortly after I joined the team it became clear Dell was selling Quest, and no one had indicated or disclosed that during the interview process. There was a lot of unknown up in the air, and a lot of people looking for other positions due to the uncertainty. There have been multiple rounds of layoffs, and direct management has no say in who gets laid off. As someone else mentioned, you can be absolutely killing it at your position and still be laid off. Full disclosure, I was recently laid off. My boss told me he had no say in the matter and was surprised I was on the list, that was given to him, not decided by him.

They seem to be letting go all the key talent in sales that managed and understand the market place - or drive them out with repositioning (demoting) them with no clear path for anyone to get a promotion. No equity was the last straw for many of the long time talented employees - there are just too many better options out there.
