Quest is a factory of sadness

Pros

Anything positive left the company when Quest separated from Dell and management jettisoned everything the teams had built towards to that point.

Cons

Front line sales management in Round Rock is terrible. They treat their sales people like children, do not give them tools to succeed, cut their pay, slash their commission structure, do nothing to their update products and then wonder why their top sales people are leaving in droves. But, if you thought front line management was bad, just wait until you meet upper management. Short sighted decisions based on an ever changing strategy and a completely absent CEO who seems like he wanted to wash his hands of the company the moment he got the job. If you want to work on a sinking ship - Quest is for you!

Pros

Working from home is a plus

Cons

On my last review, I was directed to reach out via email for a chat. Since then my workload has increased by one person. I now do a job that requires two people. My direct managers know that I am grossly underpaid for what I do and the amount of work that I have to complete. They’ve pleaded with HR to compensate me but HR will not budge when they know an employee was moved out of my department. God forbid I save up enough to go on vacation and comeback to mayhem.
