Pros

Great people across all departments: hard working and all want to help you and customers. The company genuinely feels positive about post-Dell with new hiring and product development. Treated like adults, get on and do your job but not micro-managed. Generally speaking Quest is well liked by customers and that makes your job a lot easier. There are new things coming, maybe a sale, maybe an acquire but who knows when? For me, it's exciting stuff joining a billion dollar company with a bit of excitement.

Cons

There have be lay offs = bad feelings. The company has changed so much in ownership and decisions have been made that do impact people and I get that leaves a sour taste. No stock or anything of that nature - so a change of direction/ownership could be great but only the those at the top who will benefit from that.

Quest Software Response

Thank you for taking the time to post such a positive review! I agree with you wholeheartedly that it has been very hectic since our divestiture. There are necessary changes that have impacted literally every part of the business. But I believe that these changes will leave us better positioned for success in the future. Together we have the potential to do great things! LuAnn Johnson CHRO Quest Software
