Pros

A lot of different projects and product categories to work within. Primary product category is IT software, so lots of challenges to tackle in that space.

Cons

As with all software companies, the market place changes quite a bit from year to year. Trying to stay ahead of the curve can be a challenge. As such, certain projects and plans can change quite a bit.

Pros

The people I worked with on a day-to-day basis were some of the most professional and inspiring co-workers I have ever had. There was a true sense of team and everyone working to the same goal.

Cons

The harsh economy has made Quest Software a difficult place to work if you don't live in California. Communication out of corporate was sparse and often just rumors; people will make stuff up if they aren't given direction. Pressure at the top to increase performance works downhill. Forced-vacations with little notice to employees does not encourage loyalty to a workforce already trying to do more with less.
