      Pros

      Improved benefits when Dell acquired Quest in 2012. Originally called Dell Software and renamed SIM (Systems Integration Management). Just got sold to Elliott Management and Francisco Partners in June of this year.

      Cons

      Currently lots of change and upheaval. Old boys network exists where if you are not considered in the inner circle you are ignored. Not a supportive environment for women at all to thrive and develop in. Extremely challenging to get any career development or promotions. There's a definite sense of the Quest side vs. the Dell side and is extremely political. Sales compensation packages are extremely weak and unrealistic. Fine if you have no other choices, but I would run from this company. Since it was sold rumors are it will go back to being Quest Software.

      Pros

      Quest had good people to work with. They were very supportive of personal time (work/life balance was good). Would definitely work with that group of people again.

      Cons

      Trying to reach into market segments where they had no business being. Their foray into desktop virtualization is a disaster. Same for virtualization management and cloud computing. It's not that they had bad products - simply that management seemed only interested in the maintenance tail and not in enhancing the products to keep them relevant.
