Pros

The people I worked with are amazing.

Cons

Most management is terrible. Micro-managing is very popular. They don't listen to their employees or their ideas. You are truly just a person in a seat there. Extremely underpaid compared to other tech companies. You will work very hard as an ISR making very little base while your outside guy adds hardly any value and makes 6 figures. Commission structure is horrendous. A new slick office won't make up for the internal issues of the company and its structure.

Quest Software Response

Without more specifics about your (former) location, I can't respond in much detail. I will say that none of this represents Quest and our pay practices.

Pros

Joined Quest when it was still part of Dell and learned a lot while on the job. Tools used for the role were spectacular until budget cuts happened. Flexible hours and it's nice to be able to work remote occasionally. Appreciated the week off during Christmas.

Cons

Promotions and raises are hard to attain. You can go above and beyond your duties, only to be told it wasn't enough to warrant a raise or promotion. Good employees leave if they are not being recognized for their talent. Morale has been low in the last 6 months and the office feels like a ghost town.

Quest Software Response

Thank you for your feedback. I don't have enough specifics to respond to many of your concerns but I will echo your sentiment that Quest has changed significantly since its divestiture from Dell two years ago. We believe the changes are positive including activity based wellness, not just premium reduction. Our goal with wellness is employee engagement and good health and community will follow. I don't see nepotism at all at Quest but we can always work harder to ensure that promotional opportunities are well advertised. good luck in your new job! LuAnn CHRO

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.
