Pros

Some decent products.. though lacking real market fit

Cons

Where to begin. This place is a complete dumpster fire. From the top to the Vp level. Just horrible people who consistently put the blame on either the reps or marketing or fill in the blank. This place would be better if the CEO didn’t bring in all his buddies for a quick payday. All this accompanied by a “figure it out on your own” mentality makes this place a zero out of 5.

Pros

The new ELT has been making a lot of changes to shift Quest to newer products, focus, and GTM strategies. This has been much needed, and the future looks much brighter. Regardless of the changes, the culture of respect and inclusivity and people-support has remained. I would refer Quest as an employer, especially the Legal department, to anyone I know.

Cons

As with any period of changes and redirected focus, there has been some turmoil in reductions, tool/platform changes, etc. This would be a tough environment for anyone who has trouble adapting.
