Pros

Good work life balance is all I can think of now.

Cons

Investor's group owns this company. They were in the rush to separate the company to sell by small pieces. In order to hit the bonus target, they kept cutting people again and again.

Quest Software Response

Everyone business is owned by shareholders and Quest is no exception. There is no need or intent to cut people to hit a bonus target. Like every other business, we are evolving and our headcount needs are changing. Reducing spend in one area allows investment in another. And I don't think Quest is unique in that regard. LuAnn CHRO

Sinking Ship - Look Elsewhere

Business Outlook

Pros

Consistent Paycheck; Standard medical, dental, 401k

Cons

Culture, work/life balance, Management "Bro" culture; Kept same circle of people in positions of authority even with subpar performance and sinking sales. No educational/certificate reimbursement (critical for engineering employees)

Quest Software Response

I think employees would be hard pressed to find a more supportive work life balance culture than Quest. With a robust work from home program, flexible work hours and flex scheduling we work hard to provide tools to enable you to balance all parts of your life. I'm sorry your experience has been contrary. Good luck in your new job
