Pros

Quest Software is a dominant company compared to its competitors. With 3 main areas of focus, competition is everywhere. However Quest has continued to acquire companies that round out our product offerings. This allows employees more growth opportunities in terms of product development, marketing, sales, and senior management. Quest has adapted the west coast laid back mentatlity to allow employees a relaxed, yet competitive, atmosphere. Quest has a very strong senior leadership team that has helped the company weather the good times and the bad. Even in an economy on the brink of a recession, Quest is continuing to prosper and grow.

Cons

For some of the lower level employees, opportunities may seem limited due to the internal political heirarchy. For example, some members of the sales organization are chomping at the bit to move up the chain of command, but this obviously comes at a price of doing your time and proving that you can achieve measurable results. While being a global organiztion has its upsides, some of the spread out mentality is difficult when trying to communicate new marketing messages, sales programs, or sponsored events that Quest may be taking part in. That and a few egos of upper levels can stiffle some creativity at times.

Pros

Many great solutions, there is a real emphasis on the depth and usefulness of our solutions. Quest tries hard not to sell shelfware, and that is reflected in the strong relationships I am able to build with my clients.

Cons

Upper management has little understanding of life in "the field", and no interest in learning about it. Communication is spotty at best. there is a lack of strong messaging about how all the solutons fit together and thus a lack of a big picture statement of who Quest is. The professional services and channel organizations are disorganized.
