Negative Employee Experience - Don't Work Here

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Colleagues are great but are burdened with the workload of employees who have been part of a WFR.

Cons

The organization is top-heavy. They complain about the sales teams not generating enough revenue so they limit spending for teams, but it's ok to throw money at salaries for new leadership hired in the past 6 months. The new leadership does not value employees -- only what they can squeeze out of them. They specifically and certainly do not care about you or the contributions you've made when the let you go. "Here's a standard package, you should be grateful, bye!" Seriously, think twice before working at Quest.

We appreciate you calling out the dedication of Quest employees. It is normal for organizational changes to increase pressure on teams, and leadership is actively reviewing structure, workloads, and priorities to better align investment, expectations, and execution across the business.

Lack of Structure Internally

Pros

Provided training and support to get up to speed. Work life balance was important for the employer.

Cons

Lack of internal structure for teams, no KPI's or goals to focus on. Could improve in communicating current situation at the organization as they started doing massive layoffs due to new management
