Pros

People are nice in general. Work time can be flexible if you are in R&D. West Coast casual, but IT best-in-class organization. It would be good if you are engineers.

Cons

Company keep buying small software companies; often organization change. Integration after the company purchase seems to be challenging to senior management; it is like different small companies among different product teams. The limit of number of vacation days is lower than average. Stock option availability to engineers (even if senior developers) seem to be limited.

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.
