Quest isn't what it used to be

Director level

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Quest pays well; opportunity to work with solid talent; great place to start a career in software industry

Cons

New owners are driven by margin and cost reduction. They don't care about culture and top live revenue. It's a depressing place to work as the company has constantly been in transition for years and all the old-timers that were in the original Quest are all gone. Culture is gone and there is no transparency. If you make too much money, you are gone. This is not a place to have a long-term career.

Poor Leadership!

Professional services consultant

Business Outlook

Pros

My career was great under Dell. After the acquisition huge changes came. Those will be addressed in the cons. Good thing was that I worked from home, flexible schedule, learned a lot, and the job was fun.

Cons

After Francisco Partners, the job changed drastically. Projects had no focus, top talent was laid off, it was overall a bad experience the last few months. Clients are very displeased with overall services because they do not realize all of the turmoil the exists internally. I strongly recommend not to work here if you have other options.
