Pros

The people makes a company, and at Quest there are some very smart people that are not only good at what they do, but compassionate, fun, and just overall good people. And this isn't just the grunts, there are some really good people in management as well

Cons

The company is made of a hodge podge of acquired companies, trying to integrate all the different acquisitions is impossibly difficult, especially with each acquisition comes management changes and the cultures of each acquired company is different. In the end there's more diverging directions due to each business unit having their own agendas.

Pros

I really enjoy working at Quest - they dtake software development seriously and are interested in getting good quality software out to the market.

Cons

Communication and process at Quest could use some improvement. They do a good job at on-boarding but there is still a lot of information that has not made it into the on-boarding spiel. Also, it seems as though evey group has its own way of doing things so a lot of time is spent discussing what works and doesn't works and planning process improvement in each group where it seems like there are some economies of scale to be had here.
