Pros

Great technology and a brand new office!

Cons

No professionalism, Management is very young (in their 20's), promotions are rare and salary increases rarely happen. The main con is salary, very much underpaid compared to other tech companies in the area.

Pros

I was moved over to Quest after working for Dell for 10+ years. I love working @ Quest, it is like a mini-Dell and I enjoyed my time there too. Quest empowers me to do a good job, provide fanatical customer service and encourages improvement for all employees. I am in a sales support/team leader role and get to work remote 100% of the time. It can be challenging not having an office to report to but Quest gives me all the tools I need to work remotely and be productive...laptop, headset, network, internet and support.

Cons

Quest is a smaller company, upward mobility can take a little longer with less positions.

Quest Software Response

Auditing customers as a sales strategy to generate revenue

Quest Software Response

Thank you for your insightful comments. While we are focused on the go to market strategy, we don't ever want our customers to lose sight of the advantages of being with a broad based company like Quest. During our planning sessions this week, I will socialize your comments and hope that you see some positive outcomes from that effort. LuAnn CHRO
