Pros

Quest is now part of Dell Software Group, the future of Dell, so there is some security if you are on the right product team for the future. Some very good people in the right places. Some very good products in the right places. Some perks, good benefits, decent pay. Annual sales kickoff in Vegas doesn't hurt either.

Cons

Pay / total comp / benefits are below industry peers, especially the smaller faster growing competition. Dell is not willing to get competitive because there are 200 resumes waiting to fill your spot for less pay. I left for a much smaller competitor for a lot more money and flexibility. Lot of dead weight middle management. Lot of layers. Lot of dead weight bottom level sales people and long-time Quest (or acquisition) employees that should have been cut ages ago. Which means that top people could be compensated and treated better if you cut the fat and focused. Products take way too long to improve and launch new releases. Way behind industry trends and innovations.

Pros

Excellent teamwork across divisions. New technical skills developed often, through business acquisitions and internal product development. Good pay and benefits. Good reputation in the software space.

Cons

Job restructuring and lay offs occur often. Corporate office employees treated better than those working at satellite offices or remotely. Recently acquired by large corporation leading to uncertainty.

Pros

Still workplace, easy-to-understand tasks and nice office. Some nice challenges and opportunities to learn new technologies and have ability to make some technological decisions.

Cons

No big career opportunities, unpredictable and messed up worklow policies, no real feedback from management, salary and benefits aren't good enough to be more loyal.
