Quest Software reviews

Management is the worst I've ever seen at any company or industry I've ever worked in. The company is falling apart from the inside-out. hey are highly unprofitable, which is amazing for a software company considering the margin on software. The investors that own Quest Software made a bad investment and are now scrambling to cut costs and try to fudge the numbers to make it look like Quest is profitable, but you can only cut costs and fire people to a certain extent, so this strategy is not going to work for long considering the enormous drop in sales after being divested from Dell. The remaining employees are dealing with pay cuts and purposely unattainable quotas. There is no strategy to dig Quest out from the deep hole it is in, management has an outdated mentality and no clue on how to fix the situation that they have created for themselves.

Lack of communication of direction of company management makes decisions that are questionable The new owners cut a lot of staff and the result was that inbound volume was far too heavy to keep up with - add to that they implemented Salesforce.com for the team and then asked us to fix it for them when it went badly. Requests like this we were typically informed took priority over the inbound requests that were already difficult to keep up with anyway. Management in this department is uninspiring, they are all pretty new to management, don't seem to know much about employee development or care about the employees too much in general. There isn't much sales enablement as you will be asked to tackle heavily administrative tasks that they should have a support team doing There isn't really a training program No real room for upward movement, in an ideal world you would go to a new licensing sales job, but they want to pay you less money overall to be "promoted" to that team You have a team quota with a large team. It is not ideal, it makes "commissions" seem very low, and it makes the quota feel insurmountable
